Purple plants indicates either strain or not enough heat..What degrees is your room during lights out?

about 63 I believe stays between 76 and 80 during the day

How old is the plant?..63 isn't bad..Overwatering at all?

I don't think so I looked that up and tried it I flushed it with regular water a week ago when it first started because of the lockout from feeding too much right? but it didn't really change anything I have 2 plants a 400w hps they went to 12/12 on feb 1. botanicare treatment ocean forest fox farm soil pictures on the way I use a gallon of water like every 2 days when they get dry

phenotype = a plant trait/characteristic.. it may be either dominant or recessive, depending on the strain, genetics, any cross(es)/backcross(es), etc.

With the leaf damage, looks like nute burn, but the purple looks like P deficiency.
How much are you feeding?
You mention flushing, but remember, damaged leaves will not 'heal'.

how has the new growth been since the flush

I'm growing 1 bubba kush plant under a cfl125 watt light in tent leaves are green, pretty early, but stems and branch to leaves are purple but this plant gets purple to so I'm lost a bit

It seems to be a fine line between genetics and deficiencies... best bet if ur wanting colors of any sort it would be best to keep temp between 65-70. Anything more is up to the plant.... good luck....
