I have a quick question about deficiencies. I think a couple of the lower leaves are showing signs of N deficiency. I have already upped the strength of my nutes(earth juice grow). What I am wondering is will they ever go back to there happy green color or should they get the snip. I am ocd about wanting healthy looking plants.

Teflon - They look good to me, they look a few weeks in to flowering so you'll start losing leaves, i wouldn't worry about it!

Mossy, FullD......

A Lowryder 2 plant, grown alongside a few other Lowryders and a few AK's....

There near 8 weeks from seed, in the last few days a Lowryder 2 plant has started to get a purple ting around it's leaves and bud...... What do you reckon? Low temps im thinking but doesn't that mean the genetics have to have the potential to produce anthocyanin pigments? Also only 1 has started to change colour so wouldn't temps affect them all pretty much the same?

Forgot to mention im hoping it's temps cause the other option i can think of would be cyanide in the water, i don't fancy suffering a few years down the line with Cyanide poisoning!!

Uuuhm, where are you getting water that could be laced with Cyanide? I would figure it to be either temp related, or there is a purple strain mixed into the genetics somewhere. I have grown a few LR#2s and they do not show any tendency to go purple. Of course, my region does not get super cold either.

Klmmicro, i get my water from a well, I live in an old mining area so there's traces of Cyanide in the ground so there's always a chance!

I've done a few LR2's but none have shown a purple ting, the night temps are dropping below 40F though!

Hmmm, I would start using bottled water for growing. Not sure if RO will effectively remove cyanide trace, but might be worth checking into. Is this your drinking water as well, or just irrigation water?

I would think that temps staying at or below 40 might be enough to purple the leaves...

FullD...is'nt it great from having no real information to work with..we suddenly have a Load...
We have so much study to do.

Click to expand...

Indeed it is there is tons of info, more and more each day. But it looks like we are taking it all on, or at least as much as we can.

The Brain work is stunning too isn't it...?
I have never come across info so good in all my hunting.

I think that this is what drives me most is the brain part, other than the pain part i love what it does to the brain as well as the way the brain tick's on it. My mind does some serious thinking on a good matched bud. If i find one that fires the creativity i like to hold on to it as much as possible.

So..it looks like your little girl is coming down today huh...
sigh..
looks like you will be waiting a while to see another buxom beauty...
sometimes..
I hate to cut them down....

Click to expand...

I hate it too....you watch them grow and take care of them and then eight weeks later you butcher them So its kinda bitter sweet really : and it wont be long, by the time christmas is here ill have some beauts ....i hope.

BTW..I have left a SIMPLE.."how to determine the dominance of your crosses" guide in upto's thread..
just incase you need it..for your project...

I remember seeing this over there and its already in my notes Had to grab this when i saw it. That way when i start my roll ill be able to keep the looks and the strength of the mum with the auto and color traits of the JEM.

I also have some ideas about your medicinal cream..
but I'll save them...time is pressing..
I willprobably be missing monday/tuesday coz I've got jobs to do..so I'm getting the evil eye..
for yapping in here instead..

Couldn't send me the caretaker for 2 weeks could you..he is handy with jobs.

Click to expand...

Sounds good and i hear ya on the chores, i have a few here i need to get done that i have put off, Lady D says she wont give me any more test results till i finish the "honey Do" list....So i better help

Id be glad to send you Caretaker IF he were willing to travel, lol hes not much one for far distances from the home stead lol. We keep trying to get him to travel with us but he wont leave, says theres too many things to tend to around the house...Imagine that one
ha ha ha.

The high winds were so bad..it took the washing line down off the wall..
along with a good bit of cement..
so..things have to be fixed.

Wow now thats serious, had some 2 years ago around here that knocked over a 90 red oak tree in the back yard. Instant new fire pit

If you smoke dope..don't wear fleece....you are likely to spontaneously combust...

Noted....and id hate to hear ya go out like that.

Here is a pic of how my gil is doing. She is 9 or 10 days into flowering. Its my first time and am using a NFT hydro system. Any tips on what I should be doing? Lots of crystals on the smaller leaves round bud sites
Should I be pruning more now?

Also I am using a 90w LED ufo light and a 2700k 250w CFL light. Its a small space lined mith Mylar. Does that sound enough light?

I would think so, i feel that if it were the temps, all would start to show it. The fact that there is only one doing this may say that there is a recessive genetic in her that is coming out. BUT i am not 100% sure on this.

Mossy any ideas?

i was getting purple in the bagseed im growing i bought a 30 dollar thermostat setting heater from lowes for 30 bucks works great

I think that you are looking good on this one bud. The buds are forming nice and its good to hear you got some trics forming.
At this point i my self would not cut anymore till closer to harvest. Let her fill in now, once she gets some real buds on there you can think about it again.
She is really lush Endorium keep doing what you are doing to her seems shes loves the light you have on her in there

It's not my drinking water! I use my well as the PH is excellent where as my tap water is way out!

The temps only drop below 40 on a night cycle, no more than a couple of hours by the time it cools down, I might have to raise the temp a little or carry on with the risk of purple plants!

I did use bottled water before but ran out so started using my well and had no problems with the plants so have carried on with it!

Im thinking a deficiency maybe, phosphorus if anything, though it doesn't really look anything like that!

I was thinking this and have seen it before, but i know that you have been feeding this plant as well.

Id like to see some photos of this purpling going on. Itll help the diagnosis and if its a real phosphorus issues itll be nice to have a pic for reference in the future.

Share homie lol

full isnt temps below 40 f really really low?

Agreed that is cold but i have seen these plants survive some serious conditions.
Look at the dates on some of the pics in mossys albums
I always thought that most plant stopped growing below 50f
His on the other hand defy nature.....

I was bad tonight, i got excited to see that the seeds were mature
and i cut with out weighing her so ill have dry numbers.

Here are a few pics from tonights harvest.

Enjoy hope every one had a good weekend

hey fullD

has anyone used canna coco with autos outdoors/indoors ??

with worm castings or blood and bone ??

cheers man !!

ok so the following got planted into 20 ltr holes today:

ALF#3
Bud Wider
ICU#2

will be dropping some more autos to night

will advise which ones a little later to night

Looking great buddy keep it up as I know you will.. Haha hey i got acouple freebies that just poked there heads up dinafem auto haze and roadrunner.. hopefully all goes well.
