How you doing folks, im in some need of some real help, my outside girls "all sexed" are all just now starting to flower, pre flowers on some.. 2 to 3 weeks ago i notice on one plant inbetween shoots there was a purple like color forming, in quite a bit of shoots all that plant as a mater of fact.. over the next couple days i started to check the rest of the plants top to bottum and notice that its on them as well, not all are as bad as the first but i can see more and more everyday.. I know some will say its a good thing being purple and all but im going to list a couple variables why i think its not and im looking for any info at all that u can give me, biggest fear beginning of bud rot even before then start to bud, i did my research on here and ordered Greencure just in case if anyone knows what this is well this work?.. here are the variables that im talking about, this is my first post im hoping im doing all right let me know if im not..

-Live in New York, not humid much at all maybe couple days out the month if at all
-there has been a heat wave for weeks thou but not that humid and diff not wet, creeks all over county are almost dry
-has not been cold at night to bring the purple on..
-about 4 or 5 different strains, came from a mixed bag, diff not all purple bud if any at all..

here are the pics, please help with any experiance??

I fertilize religiously as directed, as said it 4 or 5 different kinds of strains not sure if that would matter in deficiency issues, i did alot of research on different molds fungus and in my studies i havnt seen anything about purple mold, i believe that bud rot, forget the proper name for it can show up purple, Pm, Downy, etc far as i know wont be purple, i lost many ozs years back to bud rot but i only caught it in late stages, just want to make sure this isnt early stage of such

all strains need different nuts could be that if one is a weird strain or something, but i have a indoor that began to do that the plant has grown fine though and in fact im about to harvest.

Yeah a little bit of purple shouldn't really be a concern. As long as the plant is still growing and is healthy, nothing to worry about.

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.

All the 4 different strains or plants are doing it, its not just one plant or kind.. Ever seen a purple mold, was i right about maybe early stages of bud rot? if you look close at the first pick, how its in the middle spotted up the leave with purple, looks like the spreading of spores fungus or such to me.. but im not sure so im open to all comments

usually bud rot starts when ya have bud...and moisture lingers..doubt it...have you supplemented any calcium or magnesium ? these were bag seeds ? how do you now they were all different?

I only know how different all strains were by the different growth characteristics, different colors, bright green leaves, heavy green, some leaves fat, some skinny, more shots on some, shorter thicker stems etc.. its pretty clear what is the same and what isnt, where going into lates stages of growth.. and going back to the deficiency, yes this was one thing i was trying to with hold from eveyone, im using miracle grow for my nuts, regular for veg and now flower bloom for the time of season, i know most dont like to hear miracle grow but its all i kind afford right now, should i look into deficiency more than into mold of some sorts, like i said i got greencure coming in the mail

I would try and get a bit of a close picture if possible. Looks like something that the plant ingested. The color is in the actual leaves and not something on it like "mold" is from what I can tell by your crappy photo's.

yes i know crappy photos, ill try to get a couple better pics, just wanted to get the ball rolling, question in your guys experience if it was a mold or such would you be able to rub it off or atleast smear it?

yeah...you would be able to remove it..it ain't mold though..it looks natural..just turning purple in spots.

This is a fungal/toxic issue and the plant is in trouble, probably fucked bro. It is not purpling from cool nights, nothing like it. All you can do now is hope for the best.

If you want find out immediately ..foliar spray the calmag on..should start to notice a difference in 48 hours....What i realized a few years ago is you really don't save any money buying MG soil...after you add perlite to it you are still around 10$ a cubic foot...and that is pretty much the same price as much better options like FF or happyfrog or sunshine.
