I think there is something wrong with my plant guys, it seems to look different than before.. The top stems are showing a purple hue and some of the leaves look droopy/curled. I also noticed some Nute burn on one of the other leaves..

Purple stems are a sign of deficiency - usually magnesium or phosphorous or a sign of stress of some kind. have you changed anything to do with your feeding or environment? Heat? more fans?

Well the lighting scedule was altered a little bit.

I gave it longer light period before.

It isn't very hott at all in the closet.. probably about 68-74 degrees.

I've read it's not a good idea to change the lighting cycle from say 24/0 to 18/6. I'm sure they'll re-adjust though, give them a week or so.

I have had strains (mostly Sativa) that the stalk looked like that.
Didnt show the purple until about that height too.

Maybe its natural.

Definitely agree that you need more phosphorus to balance out the nitrogen. Catalyst has always been the best stabilizer or like a humic acid with a fulvic acid will help the nitrogen digest better. It looks great though. No worries just a little bit of bloom and I mean like a 1/8 the dose in a few shots will clear that up. So maybe minus 1/8 the nitrogen and add 1/8 phosphorus if you can. Potassium usually adds up with the phosphorus but the bloom brew should have some potassium. That's my two cents.

It's got nute burn, I don't want to give it any more nutrients.

I put it outside and it looks healthy now.. It was drooping over in my closet, so I decided to switch to outdoors, and when I woke up at 12:00 the plant looks strong and the leaves aren't drooping.
