I'm mid season for my summer grow and I notice a deep purple color one two of my girls.
It starts on the inside of the leafs and spots on down the leaf. It started on one or two area's but have moved to about five or six different spots.
The plants are blueberry clones, and I am about 10 or 11 weeks in.

The two variables you should know if temperatures have been unusually low dropping between 50-60 most nights, and also we have had rain for about three weeks straight.

Please let me know what you think, is it natural color from the cold, mold, or maybe a nute deficiency.

PLEASE HELP

being a blueberry strain and having temps in the 50's then i would say its color change from the cold but dont quote me.

Thats what i was thinking, I was just alittle scared when it showed up in a few other spots.
I took a few chunks out in panic that it was mold but i'm looking if anyone has more insight to this problem. Its not my first grow, but this is the first time i've seen this much color this early. The mother indoor wasn't nearly as colorful.

Right?! I searched high and low for anything like this but i haven't found help. I thought it was the plant untill it went from one plant on a few spots to the plant next to it on a few spots

I'm having the same kind of weather as you and got a plant doing exactly the same thing. It has been like that for over two weeks. If it was rot or mold my plant should have been going down hill. But it is doing great, growing like crazy. I used safehouse fungicide, rot and mitecide on it but it didn't change anything. I'd take some pics but its dark out there.

Here is the pic of mine. Thinking it is just color change, stems below the darkened leaves are dark purple. Whatever it is, not affecting growth or health yet.

I looked at my girls today, and the purple is stilll there but she's still going strong. I think its just the temp change, but i'll keep this thread in mind come flowering time. Hopefully she will just be one colorful girl with some fat purp nugs. keep me updated with your crops if anything starts to change.

No mate you have no mold there. Certain strains of weed have purple or red stems. It's nothing to worry about bro.

ok, I have just noticed that you have the discolouration on the actual leafs and not the stems. This could be the actual genetics of the plant or you could have a fert deficiency problem. Thats why I grow Hydro or Aero. It is alot easier to control fert. All you need is a top quality ec meter and a top quality ph meter.Both of which cost approx 80euro £70 each but are well worth the investment. A blue ec trunchen and a eutech ph meter are my recomendations. Use the Growth Technology (Ionics) range of feeds and with the area you have there you can easily produce a 4 kg crop.
If you would like simple designs for hydro or aero systems let me know and I'll email them to you
