btw they look good as far as i can tell... not droopy or curled edges or anything like that... just the one turning purple... but if it is from cold then why isnt the others turning?

I didnt make fun of you. it could be either one...or both. I'm sorry but I dont think we will be able to determine what one specifically is causing it. It's probally so small cuz you didnt feed it at all and used a small pot like you said.

How much money do you have? you might be surprised what you can get for how much you have and if not i'll know where your price range is at and probally something that fits in that price range.

basically none... i was hoping for some household item i could use although i figured it wouldnt be that easy... they are basically done, that is i doubt ill get any more bud off of them, so is it bad if i just leave it be until harvest or should i try to correct it?

have any unsulphured blackstrap mollasses around? alot of people use that during flowering, its biggest benefit though is it helps "feed" the microorganisms in your soil that through their digestion process turn nutrients from forms that the plant can not or not easily/effectively and turns them into easy to use forms the plant can use well.

i dont but i could prolly get my hands on some.... but they seem like they are basically done growing so is it even worth doing this late in the game... as i said its been 3.5 months already and there in half gallon or so pots so i never expected much anyways... i tried getting bigger ones and also nutes but it never happened, and plus i know i planted them way too late anyways so im kinda worried about the cold and them still not quite done i guess... i dont know its my first grow and ive had no money but ya... :( anyways im gonna post a couple pics tomorrow prolly but its a cam phone so they wont be great... but any input would be nice thanks

i have heard that the temps play a huge part in turning the plants purple. it could jsut be the dtrain and genetic trait turning it purple

If your plants are healthy in living soil, then yes, it would most likely be due to temp drops. Certainly do not discount Phosphorus defeciency out of the question, but I think your organic method has left you with the proper living enviornment in which your plants can thrive without, so considering the time of year, temps, and the fact they should be finishing up anyway, I think they are just starting to autumn off and show you they are done. I just started to flush my outdoor girls (although I feed them frequently), and they just started to go purple on me, but we have also been having some 20 degree plus temp drops at night so I feel it is a combination of the flush & temps. If you feel you have atleast 3 weeks left in your cycle, you can consider feeding them bloom boosters & carbohydrates as a means to boost their size/potency at the end and prevent defeciency if that is the case. Or, maybe go with an organic tea & organic molasses so that you do not destroy the living enviornment you currently have.

+rep? What? Huh? :) haha
