Can only see the pics clearly in number 1 and 4...it looks like the plant is turning a lil purp ...nothing wrong..dos not appear to be fungus/mold...grew some og kush last year reserva privada ..one of the phenos turned purp like that..splotchy at forst and dark almost black by the time she finished..would not worry about it.

I would generally agree. Some plants greenry turn purple with high heat and low humidity. All my lilies turned dark purple this year. I feared the heat was killing them but they bloomed just fine. I know a lily is not weed but all web searches for purple stems turned up with fairly much the same answer.

I would definately say it is a cal/mag deficiency... not fungus. I use mg soils but always add epsom salts and that seems to keep the internodes from turning purple. Try adding a Tbsp of epsom salt to a gal of H2O next couple times you water. I like to add a small amt green sand when preparing pots before transplanting but you could spread some on top of soil and let it work itself in if your really worried about the purple nodes but I would say stop worrying too much about it...... ITS NOT FUNGUS!!!!

It sounds like a phosphorus def that usually occurs at the start of the leaf into the middle also the stems go purple and the rest of the plant look fine and healthy and it doesnt look like mold although if the stem starts to split then you need more air blowing on those guys, or if its a indica strain this is also common but it looks like its a deficiency i would flush them with water in-case of any build up then give them a new solution

Nickle88 do you mean give all a real good flush before i add cal or mag or fert, kind of like if i over fertilized them, clean out the area then give them the nuts,is that what u mean by new solution, i havnt done any flushing at all since i started them, well i give them real heavy watering atleast once a week and just a wetting the day before i fertilize them, never really thought about flushing on a outside potted plant always figured that is and inside thing, makes since thou. im gonna get the cal and mag when i get paid tuesday, i use regular miracle grow flowering fert. once a week on them every friday, should i look into something diff for more phosphorus, box says it has plenty, do you guys think theres a chance of nutrient lock out with miracle grow fert i know its all chems, not sure if thats a noob question or not?

to be honest its all about judgement, you can be the most experienced grower and you will still run into these problems, but i would say give them, a light flushing throughout the day, then leave them over night and the next day when its looking dry/moist start with the cal mag and the new solution making sure your ph is about 6.5, erm you can try some new nutes but thats totally up to dude, to be honest you will always see better results the more money you spend on nutes, well in most cases.
#keep me updated dude.

For those that care cause, I get paid tuesday and ill invest is some cal mag and something a little diff like maybe some foxfarm for my nuts. Ill get back to you all after and when i see some results, thanks again to all
