checking to see if there is a problem with my plant due to the 2 shades of green on this leaf, and the others. How does this plant look?

mg and expert gardner orgainic soil ph'd to 6.5-7.0 , fox farm nutes ph'd with hard tap to 6.5-7.0. 125w 6500k cfl + 175w mh on 24/7. temps are at 75 steady with 80-90% rh.

usually the newer leaves are a little lighter shade of green and gain a darker color as the plant grows, try distilling your hard tap water to get the chlorine and fluoride out of it

nute ph is to high. i keep mine at 6 to 6.8. and the biggest issue will be the mg soil. no good, it has time release nutes and dosen`t need any nutes during veg. stay way low when you do add them in flower.
do you ph the nutes after mixing them in water.

ps no more nutes and may need to flush it if it goes any further. that looks like ph imballance starting

The mg soil has nutes in it? i must be mistaken, i belive it was like .007 or lower on npk i will have to look. i use sunleafs liquid ph test, so i just get a color and not a reading like a digital.

The hard water i use is not HARD city water. We have a well with perfect drinking water no iron or lime, just clear water....live on a river with sandy soil.

The stock is also a purple color. I just went and harvested the mother of my plant and the stock is green on that one with purple sun leafs. must be the strain.

thanks for the feed back.

the purple stems is usualy from cool nights or nute minor stress. or yes genetics.
mg isn`t the most honest company. they have been in trouble before

well the leafs with the odd color have started to turn burnt on the edges with small brown dots. I started a spray with Grow big hydro, thinking its a calc def. dont know why that would be i have a ph of 6.5 and have ph'd my nutes.

what size pots?
how often do you water and how much? what is your nute mix and how often do you feed in between waterings?
do you get run off when you water or feed
keep your ph at 6.5 afet adding nutes to water
what fox farms products do you use?

the pot is way to large for the plant thinking of moving down to a smaller pot. it is 5 gal.

right now i am at 3 tsp per gal of fox farm grow big hydro...mistakenly purchased the hydro when i should have purchased the soil type. I feed water every other feeding. i let the soil get dry but not popcorn fart dry before i water again.

i dont get run off when i water.

i use grow big , and big bloom right now, as i am veg'n the girl big.

was thinking of giving her a half strength dose of 15-35-15 nutes next.

ok you may end up flushing here.
your problem is ph imballance because of the wrong feeding and watering schedule.
to start dont transplant in smaller pots. to stressfull right now, just leave them for now.
you must get run off every time you water or feed or it wiil salt up and not enough water.

ok let it get realy dry ( pop corn dry ) watch the leaves when they start to droop then water it. and get run off and no nutes for now. none at all. there is already to much stored in there as a salt now. you need to get rid of that first.
you should only be watering in that size pot about 1 a week or every 4 to 7 days.
they do better on the dry side.

Was not me, but you should get one from me. I just hung up my new 400 watt mh, temps are now at 80deg and rh is at 72%. The plant is getting much more light now that it is in a smaller space with mylar surrounding it.

All stoked about my new MH it is a hubbell quad-tap 400w MH. Its a warm noisy sucker but it does the trick.
