Wow I bought the two Viparspectras last year, and this is my first time using them. I chopped two White Russians from the grow last night. I moved the rest of the grow outside for transfer to the bunk house for some light deprivation before chop. I have the windows covered over. But anyway check out this photo.

This bud location is over two feet from the top of the plant. I have purple leaves. I have never had purple leaves on an Aurora Indica. Did the LEDs bleach my leaves purple, or was it due to the cooler temps? I did heat the barn well above freezing. I have some purple leaves over four feet down. Maybe I should have read this article https://www.growweedeasy.com/led-gro...-cannabis-buds, but I did the familiar old hot hand check. I guess never assume anything. The tops of the plants were less than the specified 18", but they appear just like this bud. Not burnt, but just purple. Trichomes seem A-OK. Whaddayathink?

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciate it!
I've lowered the lamp again. The plant was still "leaning" to the left when I looked in on her this morning. And if I turn the pot the other way, she starts leaning the other way in a few hours. So I opened the "air-patch" on the side of the tent to see if she was leaning towards the air or something.
The phenotype from my last grow of Aurora Indica was a Afghan Indica looking plant. Short, bushy and old school green. Not much purple when she started flowering. She had some purple in the beginning, but nothing special after a while.
By the way guys.. how do you "tag" people with the "@" in the comments? I can do it if I write in the "main window", but when I press "comment" and write in there I can't tag people with the "@".

So this one turned purple due to cold temperatures? I know this can happen, but then it's getting quite cold I guess? Outdoors cold and not the temperatures you'll have inside your house.
For example, my tent is placed in my office/guest room where I have the computer and paperwork and stuff. So it really don't get that much colder in there than in the living room. Maybe 18C/65F during the night at the coldest.
But it sure looks awesome with purple plants! There's a local grow community like this one in my country, where people post pictures, questions etc. Just like on here. And the other day some dude posted a picture of a awesome looking plant. Green leaves but dark purple buds. In other words.. the weed that guy would be placing in his rolling paper would be purple, not green. Hehe!

I didn't furnish enough info. My grow is in the barn which I can heat when the temps drop. My initial post on this topic. https://forum.growweedeasy.com/foru...8008-triple-illumination-before-the-big-chill

Here's a quick update from me!
This is not going as well as I hoped. When I woke up yesterday I noticed that she had some discoloration here and there. And it's super strange too.
It might have gotten too cold that night, since some super cold temperatures suddenly came over the area I live and turn everything to winter in matter of minutes.
So I moved a heater in to the room the tent is placed, but it might have been to late?
I moved her to a larger pot (been in the same pot since day one, so I was planning on moving here one of there days anyway) just in case she needed more soil.
I watered her here on the 24th and again yesterday before I moved here because the soil was so dry it was falling apart when I tried to get the little one out of the small pot. So just to make it stick a little more, I added 1dl of water. I've had plants before turning lighter in the color because of lack of nutrients in the small pot, so I figured it was worth a shot to move here.
So I filled the large pot with new soil, moved her and nothing else. No more water, just the 1dl I gave her before I started prepping the new pot.
But she still looks kind of off, and I'm starting to believe that it might have gotten to cold here the other day. Not super cold, but it's possible it went down to 15-18C/59-64F during the night.
Still.. it should not have been a problem? No cold winds (indoor) and it's always 25-30C/77-86F when the light goes out, and it takes a while for the temperature to drop.
But I don't know.. she looks kind of off.
You can see the slight yellowing inwards the base of the largest leaves there. Like the whole thing is turning yellow all the way into the veins.
And here you can see the same two leaves pointing slightly down towards the ground. You can also see that one side is clearly shorter and less developed than the other side.
Here you can see the yellowing even clearer.
Here you can see that one side is shorter than the other, and that it is curling downwards and getting quite light green.
Here's the yellowing again.
And here you can clearly see how the leaves are turning purple.
Like I said; I've only watered her once on the 24th, and just a tiny bit yesterday (just to keep the soil from falling apart when moving her).
And I've always pH the water to 6,5, and the only thing I've added to it has been BioWorm (which has NPK value). I've also used to as a foliar spray in the morning a few times (the instructions said the plant would benefit greatly from it in the beginning).
So I have no idea how to handle this other than just let her be and see what happens.
Any ideas? This soil were supposed to be easier to work with, and I can't say I've done much besides just letting her do her thing. I gave her a "good" amount of water the 24th (2-3dl/0,8-1 cups of water) because the soil came out of the bag so dry.
Anyway.. that was my update for today.
Hope you're all having a good one!
Peace!

Just a quick question..... What is the soil or who is it from? is it pre-treated with nutrients ?
This yellowing of leaves is a significant problem as I am not a very seasoned cultivator however, I seriously spent months reading all of the major books in preparation for a successful start yet as I look into my deeper lower sections of the hydro , I am faced with similar yellowing on a few and a few spots. Is it nitrogen, phosphorus, heat, leaf burn developing, pH.…? they almost start out LOOKING the same and that makes me ( very anal about this stuff) CRAZY !
I am reading your follow-ups as I want you to get it sorted out soon. All in all, they still look very nice but you have a feeling things are changing and its great to be proactive on that

I'm using Plagron Growmix, no extra nutrition as of yet. Got some GHE Origanics for later.
I believe my problem comes from Sulfur deficiency (https://www.growweedeasy.com/sulfur-deficiency-cannabis).
Or.. the yellowing is starting from the base of the leaves, and moving out towards the tip.
I'm not sure if it's a pH problem, which I doubt since I've been particularly anal with the pH this time. But the soil could be just right, and with a 6-7 pH watering solution, I might have hit the scale a little to low? Maybe I'll water her with some pH 7 water next time, just to even it out a little?
Or it might be that the soil is a little to hot? It should not be, but who knows?
I'm starting to see a few spots in the area the leaves are turning yellow, so it's definitely a deficiency of some sort. I'm just baffled that it happened at all, so I'm thinking the soil might be to hot. But I'm not skilled enough to determine stuff like this.

I'm keeping it more toasty in there now, got the heater on during night time.
So if she turned purple due to cold temperatures, it should not be a problem anymore.
I'm not using Cal-mag no. But this soil should be enough in this early stage anyway? It's fertilized with the proper NPK value and should be enough for 3 weeks.
And I just put her in a larger pot, so there's loads of new soil in there. But I still need Cal-mag?
The leaves are turning more and more yellow, and by now they've started to form a few tiny orange/brown (rusty?) spots here and there on the leaves.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. I've regulated the water, making sure the pH was on point, not used any nutes in the water, and I've only watered her 2 times in her life (one time when she was 2 days old, and one more time yesterday just to get her out of the small pot).

Bought a bottle of Magne-Cal Plus (CalMag+ additive), just in case (http://www.plant-magic.co.uk/products/magne-cal-/7/).
Didn't realize how hard it was to get my hands on stuff like that here. I must have went through 4 different websites before I found one who sold it.
Was originally looking for GHE Organics CalMag, but there's no one selling it here. There's either the ones made for hydroponics or coco grows, or the one I ordered.
And I can't afford to order from other countries (25% extra taxes just to get it across the boarder, plus extra shipping and 3-4 weeks waiting time for the customs to check it through the central).
Hopefully this stuff comes in handy later in the grow. Now I just need to keep this one alive to figure out what happened here.

Hey all!
Posting a few new pictures here today.
She's looking worse, and I don't know what is wrong yet.
The first pair of leaves have started to really take some damage. There's "rusty" spots in between the yellow at he base of the leaves, and they're getting lighter in color for each day.
These leaves started to yellow from the base of the leaf, and moving out towards the tip after that. They now have spots.
And the second pair of leaves have started to get quite yellow as well, and on these the yellowing is starting out at the tip and moving inwards. They've also formed a few "rusty" spots here and there.
And the leaves are turning in to "hooks", pointing down to the ground.
This far in the grow I've made sure to pH the water, and I've not used any nutrients since the soil should be enough for 3 weeks.
I've not watered much, just a few times in total, and never a big amount of water each time either.
The soil has a pH of 6.0 - 7.0 and a EC of 1.0 - 1.5.
I'm thinking that maybe the soil is to hot for t he young plant? Or maybe I should water her with a higher pH-value and let the soil figure it out more, and not water her with pH 6.5 because it's making the soil to acidic?
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have a bottle of Calmag on the way in the mail, and it should be here tomorrow.
For me this looks like either;
magnesium defiency (https://www.growweedeasy.com/magnesium-deficiency-cannabis)
or,
sulfur deficiency (https://www.growweedeasy.com/sulfur-deficiency-cannabis)
or,
manganese deficiency (https://www.growweedeasy.com/manganese-deficiency-cannabis)
and that this is caused by the soil being to hot?
What do you guys think? I really have no clue what is causing this and I'm grasping for straws here.

Ok, how about the fan situation, do you have one on her? To much breeze on a young plant can cause some freeky leaf issues, and the clawing downwards at the tips, can be a sign of to much wind. If you do have a fan, turn it off for now, they don't want any breeze yet.

I have a fan in there circulating the air around, but I made sure it didn't blow directly at her. But I've turned it off now to see if anything changes. I only had it running to circulate the humidity from the humidifier, and since I moved her to a larger pot, the soil helps keep the humidity at a ok range (40-45%).
So I'll use the next following days to monitor how she develop.
I got the CalMag today. Should I start using it together with my BioWorm when I water her from now on? I'm not going to add nutrients for a little while, so I'm wondering if it will be ok to just give her wormcastings and CalMag?
My tap water comes out at pH 8,0 so I've been adding pH-down regulating it to 6,5. But maybe I should stop at about 7,0? The soil itself is 6,5-7,0, so it should be able to manage it itself for a feeding or two? Just to make sure the soil is not to acidic. Or should I just keep feeding her 6,5?

Hello everybody, here's an update for you guys!
Many of you have probably seen my post about CalMag, and the progress I've had fighting the issues my little girl suddenly experienced?
After a few days of closely monitoring her, and feeding her CalMag, she's looking much better.
There's still some Magnesium deficiency (https://www.growweedeasy.com/magnesium-deficiency-cannabis) I believe, but hopefully I will be able to manage that after the next feeding.
I'm not sure what is causing this, but I believe it to be my soil being a little to acidic. So since the last feeding I've been trying to manage it by feeding her with pH 7.0 - 7.2 feeding water, and by that passively regulating the pH-value of the soil to the preferred/approved value.
But she's still looking a lot better, and she has grown a lot in only a few days. Her color looks better, so I'm not too worried about this anymore.
I'll still keep monitoring her every day, and feed her CalMag every other feeding or every feeding? The first time I added it to the water, I used 0.5ml in 500ml (2 cups of water).*
The important thing is that she's doing better. And I'm looking forward to seeing how she develops over the next few weeks.
Peace!

Growing GSC now, will let you know, what I have smoked that was (Claimed to be GSC) was a not heavy stoned, happy, work all day kind of stone. Getting me to work all day, had the wife looking for more seeds
