Purple stems for fan leaves is a good sign! All of your leaves that have purple stems are your plants "Storage." In case you're plant ever experiences a nute def, they start taking store nutes from those leaves. Which is why your Fan leaves are the first things to show your plant is having a problem. As long as the main stem isn't purple your good to go! I havn't seen pictures, but my guess is she needs some cal/mag.

Man, that's no good...I hope you get to feeling better! You should throw some more soil in those cups, you need as much root growth as you can get!


Come on people, let's get some updates!


I was just thinking about doing that!!!! thanks for the sharp eye !!! ( I also noticed a lot more yellowing from the bottom working it's way up the fan leaves) I gave them a little stronger dose of nutes (not to much more) to see if that helps.

I've noticed that in mine too...not sure what nutes your using, but my nutes can't really seem to help me >< I'm using some MG 24-8-16 and I think I'm just getting too much N and not enough P, which in turn makes for a N Deficit. Hopefully I can grab some decent nutes like some Jacks 20-20-20 and then a N fert. and I should be good &#8730; Dynagro Protekt is some good stuff too.

You DEFINITELY need more N and less P for sure if those are the nutes your using. I just got the other MG Bloom Booster. http://www.amazon.com/Scotts-Miracle-100192-1-5LB-Booster/dp/B000VBK6H0/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1309235199&sr=1-11 from my mom yesterday Lol....I'm about to start using it now. It has a much better NPK ratio for flowering in my oppinion. My guess is the plants will probably need more N at times, but won't be overloading them like the MG All Purpose nutes do. I will continue to use the All Purpose for Veg. Keep in mind these do not contain Micro-Nutrients which play a HUGE roll in the health of the plant.
Another thing to consider.
