Unfortunately the pics were very fuzzy. But they don't look deficient to me. Get some clearer images. Could you describe what you believe is the deficit?
 
thx annie..not sure how to link previous thread i posted last eve..believ it was mg or z defic...after playing around with chems allll day cause had to water tonite regardless,..am thinking I dropped ph too low with the ph down..hmmm...cpl plants overall lightening...cpl others,..start yellow blotching,ends up curling up,..crispy..that one not shown..couldnt bear it..

purple stem could be phosphorous def. I see they are flowering, your probably not giving them enough of that. could also be genetics

Yeah i would say phosphorus because your water leaf stems are turning red/purple, if not taken care of it will take out your water leaves eventually and bud size will be affected in harvest. What kind of water do you use? Nutes? Hit em with heavy phosphorus and it should turn around
 
thank you urgod...noticed more purple stems as well tonite...temps staying good..the one is Elephant...one to right is Grape Ape...both of which do purp up, BUT usually towards the end,near harvest,..At that time, on those,(and plushberry) I chill down temps a tad,..and flushing water I usually temp a little cooler as well..May be my imagination,..but it seems to almost stimulate the resins/deepen the purp color...yes..2 wks into flower..have already dosed with nutriculture 5-50-17,..and an earlier response indicated I may have done that too early into flipping to 12/12..I had flushed 2x prior to switch,and new fert..tap water runs exact 7.0, so I put cpl DROPS of ph down to within proper range,..warm water,..horrifically,..I tested run off tonite,..again as prior response recommended...Yikes! runoff ph 5.5!.....I have wondered regarding Phos as well....curious to everyones thoughts of>>>since I have flushed,would it be advisable to add a TAD of 20-20-20 to next watering,..even tho have flipped lites,..and has been 1 treatment of the 5-50-17 already applied,1 week into flower..It would up my N, and phos...added a tad cal/mag with last water..still yellowing...just went in and turned the ladies...even in hps lite, theres NOTICABLE color difference...yes, primarily the indicas,..

Do you know the calcium content of your water? If calcium is high it can build up on roots and cause deficiencies that look like phosphorus...how long since you added the high phosphorus nute after flush? The problems should get noticeably better in about 3 days
 
thx again..have NOT added hi phosphorus after flush...last water,..3 days ago,..dd ph adjusted water to 6.5,..with 2ml calmag per gal..pics are taken today before lites came on...Tonite,..I tested tap..7.0...adjusted to 6.5 with 2 drops ph down,..and added only technoflora florakleen to the mix,..half of recommended amount..water warm,..2 8oz cups each plant...never had these issues when doing only 1 strain...very different reaaction from sativas/indicas...its the indicas that are getting lite/limey compared to the sativas...I also swapped out all my catch trays tonite as well..another great idea someone on here mentioned..
 
am wondering if adding 20-20-20 on next watering, in 3 days would help boost nitrogen/phosphorus...they loved that before I flipped to 12/12 and flushed them clean...

Well i would say use your high phosphorus nute...around 2 weeks in high phosphorus is reccomended. A product called mother of all bloom is 1-52-42 and is used 2-3 weeks into flower and again about 5 weeks in. So i would say add only a little of the 20-20-20 and mostly the high phosphorus

If they don't come back or show signs of in a few days after doing that...i would look into how much calcium is in your city's water. That would be the only other explanation i could think of
 
Most awesome! jotted it down...will grab that dang expensive calcium meter..looked right at them..might as well check it now..preventive..Thank you again...will post pics in cpl days..
 
am in a sub city..lolol...like a marthas vineyard..but not so pretty! A "board" and all that...should have a meter anyway..looked up that mother bloom...roadtrippin to get that today..it truly IS science..AND..even tho name is bobgoodlove,..am a tru Lady...helps keep the weirdos away,..:mrgreen:...
