hi
ive got a plant 2 weeks into flowering, soil, 400w hps
shes got purple stems and yeloowing leafs with brown spots.
the stems are still green on the last 10cm
from what ive looked its ph lockout.
my ph meter shows 6.5 but its probebly incorrect
i feed her evry second watering according to nanuf.
so should i flush her with correct ph water first or continue regular feeding & watering with correct ph water
thnks
cant upload pics. dont knew why. its not working right

Seriously though, pH at 6.5 is good ─ I'd check for overwatering, overfeeding or perhaps the soil is colder than they'd like?

The discoloration and spots sound like Cal/Mag or PH problems. The redish/purple stems are common, unless it's a deep purple there's nothing to worry about!

I'd be inclined to discontinue feeding for a fortnight to see if she'll improve . . .
But without pics it's guesswork!

Purple stems and brown spots and what not on leaves = Phosphorus Deficiency.................

Well, not nececelery ─ P deficiency can point to too low pH and purple stems signify little except perhaps low temps during the DP!
