Leaves turn purple like that from being exposed to cold temps.. thats why some indica "purple" strains do it automatically.. that doesnt look an indica tho. Has it been cold overnight there?

U dont want em to turn that color too early.. the plant will suffer from stress. Its normal during the fall to turn purple because of the falling temps, but right now it cud be dangerous.

When they turn purple during flower YOU WILL LOVE IT.. theres nothing like your buds looking like ripe grapes lol.. and purple weed of any variety always sells better on the street.

yet another gem of misleading advice from kaendar. its not dangerous at all, all it is is the plants reaction to colder temps, we've had some cold nights the past few days and lots of the new growth on many of my plants do this, one i have turned rele pink on the top, a hopeful precursor for when its flowering. and then after nights return to normal, warmer temps. the new growth will go back to being green. please stop spreading bad info, it ok not to know,

also it might be phosphorous deficiency but I wouldn't worry about it too much because it's bagseed so it could also be genetics. And we recently had a cold snap out here in the Central Valley, I don't know where you're located but it could be colder temps but I wouldn't sweat that. unless you start to see some slow or deformed growth in the older and middle leaves then you might wanna check into the phosphorus thing. I usually wait until my plants show nitrogen deficiency before feeding and I might lose a node and have a yellowing second node but after they absorb that food they blow up so don't sweat it too much. So you just LST? You don't top?? also i would say it's too early to sex your plants.


P.S thanks for the welcome bro.

Anytime brother!:leaf:
I try to feed as much as possible without burn,I didnt top any of the Mr.Nice,I topped the one I am LSTing and topped the other 3 Mr.Nice.I think all togather I have 7-8 Mr.Nice.I did some reading on them and they are grown mostly indoors.Also The strain is kept small and leaf sites are very close togather!Easy for manicuring I guesss :bigjoint:Hey I wont argue that!

Are you kidding me bro? I stated a few times that it was the plants reaction to cold temps.. all I was pointing out to him was that continous cold temps could severely stunt the growth of the plant if its in veg. AND like I said during flower its normal because its during the fall if urr growing outdoors.. trust me.. I used to live in N. Illinois outside of Chicago.. perpetually purpling plants in veg means u might wanna consider taking them inside overnight..

Right on. me too I dont go over kill but I love for my babies to have a constant supply of food(with flushing like every 3 watering of course). The purple is probably just from an overnight cold snap dont sweat it. Looks pretty cool when they purp up tho huh? haha can't wait till these bitches start flowering man.

Taking your plants inside and out is a great way to cause a hermie and/or get spider mites. The drastic temperature change from outside to inside might cause stress depending on how strong your plant is. I'm not saying it WILL but it MIGHT. And spider mites are not fun. I had the red ones from doing exactly what you are advising here. Just sayin though
