i think i'm about to harvest this one, should i just go about it? does she look done?

i'd still like to know what's causing this, never seen this yet, this is my 2nd plant.

Yep P deficientcy caused the purple leaves, the rest take Brick Top's advice seems he's been around a while :)



Oh btw Brick Top Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is fucking magnificent! muahahaha
 
"Molybdenum deficiency"...LMFAO...wow...


Laugh if you wish but a Molybdenum deficiency will cause leaves to have a pale, fringed and scorched look, some unusual or weird or deformed leaf growth. The middle leaves will yellow and twisting of younger leaves can often times be seen and when that happens they will eventually die.

Molybdenum deficiencies resemble a nitrogen deficiency and are often confused as being one but those with a lesser trained eye. A Molybdenum deficiency shows older chlorotic leaves with rolled margins and stunted growth. Again it will look like a nitrogen deficiency to those less experienced, but there will be pinkish or reddish tips, sometimes a bit purple (anyone other than me notice the slightly pinkish/reddish and slightly purple discoloration) and the discoloration will move inwards to the middle of the leaves. Molybendum deficiency will usually show up in the older to middle aged leaves (notice which leaves seem most affected which shows where the problem first showed signs), then it moves to the young leaves. More times than not a molybdenum deficiency occurs when sulfur and phosphorus are deficient.

I guess that really is something funny now that I think about it. I can see why you laughed.
 
I have to agree with this guy look at his profile status. he's a Mr Ganja!

Iv had a run in with brick top and his encyclopedia like responces B4...all i See is a guy with alot of time on his hands and pistos on RIU allday...dosent even have a journal link...Doods a clown, but good luck with your moltabylenumunisugafanichitis,lol
 
thank you very much everyone
especially those with the rare theoretical knowledge, it's not so easy to find

however i am in need of more practical advice - do you think i should even start trying to mend to problem with ferts so close to harvest?

this plant has been flowering for over 12 weeks, time to harvest dont you think?
 
also, if i am gonna solve the problem with nutes, how should i go about it?

bio-bloom?

i don't have much access to resources save this one. and some bioheaven (micro) and K juice for bloom.

well it's true what they said about the soil... it is kinda packed i can't do much about that. i water thoroughly only when it's quite dry, and wait a long while between. i must say it don't think it's overwatering though.

if the soild is not airated(perlite helps a fuckload) enough and stays wet for to long it will lock out nutriens...

been flowering for 3 months

well, you could buy better soil next time...or let it dry the fuck uut...like until its wilting a little...
 
bend a wire coathanger into a L shape and stab the shit outa your soil!
i find it helps keep the dirt from getting compact during the flush stage
 
give that a try thanks
any more thoughts? anyone
remind that this is about plant leaves getting purple and sandy to touch
