Okay i am on my 4th grow. Grow details below:
3 plants - Barney's Farm Strains 2x Liberty Haze 1x Chronic Thunder (was freebie)
Medium - FFOF Soil in 3 gallon Smart Pots; added dolomite lime at beginning of grow; little at beginning of flower; and more mid flower (today)
Nute and watering schedule - Lucas Formula (FloraNova Bloom 1 tsb per gallon) every other watering, plain water in between. Water is PHed to 6.5
Soil PH - Run off as of today was 6 put in 6.5. Run off seems to always be around .5 below what I put in.
Lights - 700w Mars II LED and 280w Blackstar LED - so about 400 true wats
Environment - 75 F @ 48% humidity lights on and 70 F @ 56 %
Age - I flipped 12/12 exactly 27 days ago
Perceived issue - This is not actually a problem to this specific grow. It is legit in EVERY single one of my grows. The stems of my fan leaves always turn purple.... Not right away they start off a lovely green then in flower they turn purple starting at bottom going to the top. My research shows it can be due to 3 things
1. Cold Temps
2. Phosp def
3. Strain
I know it is not cold temps, my last grow I was kinda lazy and didn't get the weight I wanted. I am not slacking I revamped my grow room and now check everything daily. The environment is regulated pretty well as you can see.
It could be phos def due to lock out, but the run off PH seemed okay. I always thought it was strain but given that it has been happening in every one of my grows I thought it was best to ask other people opinions. The yellowing of the lower growth on the chronic thunder has me leaning towards lockout. Maybe I need to calibrate my ph meter but did it like a month ago.
Will appreciate any feedback or comments (even if not about purple stems). Pics provided as well
Thanks
