I have two clones about three weeks old that have great growth but there is more purple on the stems and leaf veins than green. Even the main stalk is almost completely purple. Also the edges of the leaves seem to be turning purple. They are indoors in soil and the temp. stays within tho 70s or 80s. People have told me phosphorous but i need some other input.

hmmm hard to say. it might be the strain?

yup it could be the strain... might also be worth trying some Mg (epsom salts) foliar feed for a wk or so... ph def can also cause purpling, but as marijuana uses alot of MG whilst its growing, thats your best bet.

If youre using rain water, depending on where you live, ie proximity to large industrial areas,surrounded by freeways etc, you could be pouring acid rain onto your babies...If you are gonna use rain water, its important to ph check it.

If i use MG for a foliar feed i use 1/3 tsp of epsom salts in a 1litre spray bottle

or if you wish to add it to your rsain water, mix 1/2 tsp to a litre of water and apply to the soil.. Although foliar feeding will get faster results on a sick plant..


DO NOT spray the foliage, during the light cycle, or you'll cook them...either just before lights out, or a half hr(ish) before lights on..You havent got to drown them, just give them a light misting each day.

hope thats a help.
