not ready to cure yet or ......?

Pics are always good, but it won't help tell if it's dry or not.. If you bend the stock in half and it snaps it's dry, if it doesn't snap, it's not dry..

this is not great info if u plan on curing ur bud nicely!....if u havent started to cure and the stem snaps its too dry!...u want the outer bud to be dry to the touch and the stem still bend...u put in jars and u burp them every so often...u leave the top off for a few hours untill dry to the touch and u close them and u wait a day or two open them till dry to touch and u continue untill u eventually get a snap from the stem...and at this point its stilllg reat to leave them in the jars for a while longer...the bud just keeps smelling and tasting better and the high is better too

Thanks for info, The bud is dry feeling to the touch, so I will put this (1) Bud in a jar & ck every few days..? right

If you want to sweat it, you have to open the jar 2 - 3 times daily and mix the bud around, or it will mold.

I would suggest looking up a tutorial on curing buds. I'm sorry I thought you wanted to know when it was dry.. I'll have to read more carefully next time.

Doesn't look like an auto-flowering to me. Hate to tell you but done in two weeks isn't gonna happen if you want to smoke buds off of it. What light schedule you using? Get it to 12/12.

So this seems like a good place to ask this question Within the last few days a few stems on my three plants have turned a light purple color

Here's what I'm working with:

1 barneys farm red dragon
2 Dutch passion perplex

150 hps
105 watt cfl

I'm growing in hempy buckets in a dr60 tent

Using general hydroponic nuts floragro and florabloom full strength

How old and how large are your plants?
Given the names of your genetics it sounds like this would be normal.

I vegged for 4 weeks and I'm on my 2nd week of flowering

The red dragon is 30 inches tall and the two perplex are both 2 feet tall

General hydroponics nutes and growing in hempy buckets. Ive been using the same strength nutes since the beginning of flowering.

Probably natural.

Things to look out for are Magnesium and Phosphorus shortages. Keep an eye on the leaves and let us know if they start to yellow between the veins or look "moldy." Otherwise I don't think you have reason for concern yet.

Ok so I just went and checked and the red dragon has a couple yellow leaves with some greyish black spots on them.

That actually is something to worry about, but nothing major. You're not quite far enough into flowering to have your leaves falling off. The plant could probably use another 100 or 200 ppm's of nutrition, likely in the Nitrogen, Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium departments. Extra Phosphorus right now might be called for... but within the same ratio as before.

It could also be that the plant is too tall and not enough light is reaching the base and these leaves are just doing themselves in.

Impossible for me to say either way.

Hypothetically speaking, if you've been using 5ml per gallon, up it to 6ml per gallon. If you've been using 10ml then up it to 12ml per gallon. About 20% more food is as far as you'd want to go. Run that for maybe the next two to three weeks keeping a close eye on the pH (5.8ish will help with the Mg uptake) and watch for any burning on the tips of the plants. If you see little brown tips immediately drop the nutrients back to where you have them now.

In Hempy buckets it's also important to keep a look out for salt build up because of the physical structure of the perlite and vermiculite. You will probably want to flush the medi periodically when feeding so strong to keep that from being an issue. Clear-X might be a good call to keep everything clean.
