Advice

Not sure about the over watering, I use the finger/lift method to determine when to water. These plants seemed to like their water about every 3rd day.

I agree with the above advice pertaining to overwatering and NOT flushing. I too would let it get good and dry.

If you are sure it's a deficiency, you could give it one light feeding with fertilizer AFTER you've let it dry. Like some fish guano tea, or something like that. But take it easy, try a light dose and see if it helps a little bit before giving a strong feeding.

It really looks like overwatering. Purple is nothing but cool looking. I'd let the soil dry out and only water when top inch is dry and pot feels light.

Honestly don’t do a flush your just going to wash off whatever nutes are left in that soil. Looks like overwatering to me. How about top dressing with that soil you have and wait a while before you water the ladies and just water enough to get the soil moist don’t get it to wet. And make sure your watering at proper ph. If it was N deficiency the bottom leafs would be falling off first. Most blindly it’s overwatering and ph problems

As far as the deficiency, I don't know. As for the purple, I feel like it's a strain thing. I have several with the same coloring and leaves are all fine, no deficiencies or discoloration at all. I wouldn't worry about the purple. Hopefully you can see these pretty good.

Just curious, are you possibly overwatering?

I've got these plants in Fox Farm Ocean/Forest blend soil. I've read a good deal but haven't really seen anything like you have explained about counting the time. What you said makes sense. I'll try the flush and see what happens.

I've not had an issue with purple stems. Nor have I seen anyone who has. Lot's of theories and opinions. Stress, strain, nutes, strain, light, temperature. My neighbors plants are pretty much purple all over. Save the leaves.

Happy KC sunday blizzard sunday football and i'm a tad high ! golfnrl sure looks N issue to me. I'm guessing that you are doing a lollypop type of training? I'm looking at the removal of so many leaves left starving for N. If they were given to me I would put some fish/guano/Epsom salt ( helps heal plants good for greening and gentle excellent for roses) and may look at light distance/temps. Gooo Seahawks

I don't grow in soil but in my hydro experience I have seen the same purple streaks in lots of strains. After you get the flowers that far along there is not much to do but hope you left enough foliage to last. In hydro I'm still feeding a bit of foliage-pro but a reduced amount. Auto's get yellow really fast compared to photo's. Good looking grow !!

You have something going on. What type medium are you using. I've seen nitrogen deficiency before but never on every leaf and even your buds look off some unless it's your camera. I would flush them and maybye use a comeback formula like Fox farms puts out. Of course before flushing it's important to know the medium your growing in. 2 thoughts not directly pertaining to your ?. I always start my flower count when I see pre flower usually 10 to 20 days after you change time. Not from day one. Also I found that if I don't completely strip the bottom branches leaving some growth I get a better yield up top and my branches seem to remain strong to hold that yield. Just saying. Been growing since 2015 so I have seen a lot. But hopefully some of the more experienced growers can help you more.

I put my girls in flower on November 16. So, 5th week of flower. I'm wondering if I have a nitrogen deficiency? The girls have produced lots of buds. But because the leaves are pale green and the pistils are still white I am concerned. If I have a nitrogen deficiency how do I dose them?

Also have a concern bout the red/purple stems. From what I read today on GWE it might just be the strain (Dutch Passion Purple #1). But it kinda looks like a problem for the areas of the stems that get the most light. Not sure.
