you know it is the sink when the the plant uses the sink as a source and pulls from the fan leaves...the new source...and they begin to yellow

How many times have you seen the question,,,,,,, leaf stems are turning purple, WTF?
I answered one just today
purple stems means the leaf is a sink, green stems means the leaf is a source
purple stems tells us that the plant is mature (as does alternating nodes) and is preparing to flower, like a squirel storing nuts for winter, the plant starts storing nutes to make sure it has them to flower with.
Yet one more reason not to prune leaves
and don't confuse this with stems turning red which is the first sign of an N deficiency

not sure it is just the way it is growing, my thought is has something to do with the fast cell division that they warned me about when using CMH which is why they say add silica, I have been adding half strength and I'm thinking it is time to up it?

I guess this is the mid week update
It has been 8 days since they got 1st rain after transplant, this morning they got second rain. I am thinkin I need to increase the countdown on light cycle to 30 instead of 15 cause there is only 17 inches left before they hit the light
I drew a red circle in one of the pics to show where I topped #4 8 days ago, 11.5 inches of new growth since
Took a top down pic of #2, you can only see one cola LOL camera was even with the light.
Thinking of names now that I know sex, #4 is gonna be Tilders Deuce cause she looks so much like Tilders I have already been calling her that
#1 is Udo, after the singer in the Balls to the Wall video
#2 is Kat, cause I have a special friend named Kat and #2 is special
#3 is DD cause she has 2 big double D colas
Upper stems are bigger than a #2 pencil (will try to get a pic soon)
Also did the heat thing again as humidity went up again, turned up to 85 to burn it off then back down to 78, over 25 trips up & down the stairs to make it rain, who knew working in the garden was gonna be good exercise

I could actually do that as the slop sink in the laundry room will take a hose, but the exercise is good for me

I notice some mutated leaves from the CMH. The cell division is better too. I can't deal with the drainage to 'make it rain', but love these CMH's. Checked my tap water today, and it's 7.4, and the local greenhouse is calling back on the K-Trate. Got those Dr. Doom Foggers, and Knockout now, just in cause. Thanks for all the help.I've been telling everyone for a year now, some have listened

Yeah I upped the silica to see if it helps with the mutations, I got one with a growth on it not sure WTF it is but got my eye on it
