First some needed info right?

Ph balanced organic soil mix in 3 gal. pots with good drainage
400 watt MH bulb in 3x3x4 grow space at 20/4 timing.
Temps range from 70 with lights off to 85 with lights on
Humidity ranges from 46-50%
On this particular plant I have not used any nutes yet. Just water ph'd to 6.6-6.8.
I water about once a week when the soil seems very dry about an inch or two down.

Some of the leaves had some necrosis so I trimmed em...hence the half leaves....plant is a clone and it has been about 3 weeks since transplant.

Plants lookin wierd...purple stems that used to be green....yellowing a lil...

I have not added any nutes to the watering for this plant yet....all of its nutes are coming from teh soil..so i'd be surprised if its a toxicity...

I have Pureblend Pro...but that also has phos in it as well right?

I've had purple stems before as well, was advised by a local growers to top dress with ironite and water it in, it took awhile but it did clear the problem, was more noticable in new growth than in the old, though that did eventually green as well.

Might also try some b-1 with chelated iron for a quicker effect, also quite good for root development.

Definitely lacking phos, but it also looks like you are over watering your plants. Instead of completely soaking your soil once a week , maybe water 2-3 times a week with less water?

Also i saw that you were cutting your leaves, that greyish color on leaves that looks like fungus is not. It happens during the veg stage when there is a phosphorous deficiency.

well my clones always look like that. they have extremely purple/hard stems, the new growth is always very green. the contrast between the purple and green should be very noticeable.

im going to my spot now so ill post a pic in a few...

this is a bad idea. more often watering with less water is the way to overwater and it will develop bud rot.
