Holy crap, I forgot about that show, it's still on? I'll have to set the dvr up for it, i used to watch that years ago.


Nice bud dude! Vikings is cool, I watch that sometimes but it's always on late so I'm usually falling asleep and doze off to it :p
This season is amazing. 3 tribes.White collar, blue collar and no collar. I wont spoil anything else.

Hey everybody just have a quick question.

My leaf stems and stalks both have purple stripes on them, i've been doing a lot of research online to try and figure out why. like 95% of people say its normal and not a problem, about 5% of people say its a phosphorus or magnesium deficiency.

If its important enough i'll throw up some pics, but is this something I need to fix?
I feel like I freaked out too my first grow and noticing that but turned out it was genetic with the strain. Try to look that up...I'm sure it's fine.

Yummy

I am with 95% of the people then. My Dog, OG Kush in the past, and many others have done this whilst maintaining super healthy green leaves and sticky glorious buds.......so not sure why there would be a Mg or P deficiency.

The plants look very healthy, I just keep peeping giggle's completely green plants and wishing I could keep my plants all nice and green XD. I kinda figured it could be genetics but my last 2 grows have had the same things. I've been growing from the same seed stock. I just figured i'd finally get to the bottom of it, if its nothing to worry about then I will rightly stop worrying about it! I'm glad I asked before feeding them cuz I figure if they look great then theres no reason to feed, I OD'd my last plants (They still turned out bomb but i'm sure the yield suffered). Thanks all

Purple stripes up the stem is a direct indication of the root zone PH being too low and thus locking out Phosphorus.

If you raise the PH slightly until the sweet spot for the given plant is reached, then the purple lines will grow out as Phosphorus is freed up.

Straight up 'Sherbet Lemon' this one.
If it lives up to the current hype we'll be seeing a lot more of it.

Yeah, the stripes on the main stalk is P deficiency. Purple petiole can be a number of things. I just up the nutes a bit and now add Epsom, it'll clear up. Lots of people say the glue has purple stems but when I got enough magnesium in the mix it all went away. Sometimes purple petiole are a Trait though so ya never know :p

Finished up the lollipopin today and finished up some superceopping. I cropped it like it's hawwwwwtttt. Then it leannnedddd backkkk (just some music humor if anyone knows where I went with that :p )

Its funny i'm using FFOF and in 1/12 of my pots I literally have a single blade of grass growing in it. I can't imagine where the seed came from but i'm leaving it there. I'll throw up some pics tomorrow maybe its a pretty dank looking piece of grass. I'm planning on smoking it

I'll try adding a little magnesium using slightly higher PH water during my next watering, if that doesnt change anything i'll add some phosphorus. I'll probably add some phosphorus soon anyways though cuz i'm sure they will need it

You need to use a higher PH water until the purple lines grow out before you add any more Phosphorus.

If you add more Phosphorus to a medium in an already locked out state, once the lockout is freed up you'll get a big rush of Phosphorus to your plants potentially burning the shit out of them and causing more problems.

Too much Phosphorus kills vigour and resin production stone cold dead, top tip.
