I’ll keep posting updates here probably. But nothing to in depth. To be honest I haven’t taken very good notes this grow. My next run I’m going to try to be more detailed
I use to write a grow diary for many years. Today I use pic dates and my diaries here. Makes life easy. Why do it twice?I’ll keep posting updates here probably. But nothing to in depth. To be honest I haven’t taken very good notes this grow. My next run I’m going to try to be more detailed
Put it all here, the good, bad and indifferent. Someone might see something you missed. Most of the folks here what you to produce the very best you can. It's kinda a family who pull for all. When I found this place I knew I was home.I’ll keep posting updates here probably. But nothing to in depth. To be honest I haven’t taken very good notes this grow.

Well you might regret saying thatPut it all here, the good, bad and indifferent. Someone might see something you missed. Most of the folks here what you to produce the very best you can. It's kinda a family who pull for all. When I found this place I knew I was home.
It’s train wreck from A trusted vendor (not sure if I can or should name drop) wondering if maybe I got the purple train wreck on accidentI ve got strains here that just get purple leaves (cold or not) some cookies strains get purp;e no matter what

Same lol. I've even started including what I'm feeding and when in my posts in my diary. It's been awesome having pics to look back on also because they have some dialogue and story attached, so I can really look back to see what was going on. Very helpful having a grow diary.I use to write a grow diary for many years. Today I use pic dates and my diaries here. Makes life easy. Why do it twice?
Feeding half strength flora trio and supplements. I’ve also been feeding half strength cal/mag and slowly been working it up to the recommended full strength which is what my last 2 feedings have been. I bet that’s what it is. To much calciumSudden purpling in the first 4 weeks of flower can also be a phosphorus deficiency. It's even more amplified by colder temps, when the temp drops the plant will uptake more P, especially around early/peak bloom.
What are you feeding and what media are you growing in? Mixing too much calcium with phosphorus products can cause a lack of P also.
This opens up a lot of space for conjecture, as a ton of growers, notably newer ones, tend to flood their plants in oceans of Cal-Mag and other nutrients, not to mention the pre loaded fortified soils which are chalkfull o goodies. My question, aside from the Ph raising abilities of Cal Mag carbonate versions also causeing nutrient lockout with the higher Ph (and causing issues with magnesium absorption/usage), are you saying that the phosphorus is locked out from the Ph rise, or from a direct reaction between the Calcium and the Phosphorus... or are we talking about the same beast from different perspectives (as in the Ph rise is a result of the Ca/P reaction instead of the Ph rise coming solely from the Ca actions)? This could help to explain the rash of Phosphorus looking problems when some folks are using a bunch of Cal-Mag... I guess the form of the Calcium ( Calcium carbonate vs nitrate?) could really cause issues that aren't consistent with regular Ca Mg additives.Calcium needs to be kept to a minimum when using a high P bloom nutrient. Better off building it up with Ca carbonate based versions of calmag, but again not too much or itll bind with P and form calcium phosphate which is insoluble and renders both nutrients useless to plants.
looks good to me, they will fill out in a few weeksWell here we are at the beginning of week 5. I’ve slowly been upping my nutes the last 2 weeks to see if that would help slow or stop the purpling of the leaves and it hasn’t. Leaves have also continued yellowing faster than I would like so I decided to do a flush with fox farms sledgehammer. 10 gallons through each pot. Reduced fees to 450 ppm. Flushing scrogged plants in Autopots with a battery powered 3 gallon wet dry vacuum is a pretty miserable experience. I was hoping for a bit more girth out of my ladies this late in the game. Going off the pictures do my flowers look like they are on track? Also can I expect them to continue bulking up? Strain is a 9 week train wreck. ✌ and ❤

It's a very interesting issue that might help explain some of the mysterious issues that seem to pop up for no good reason. I'm minimalist and don't have any problems, thankfully, but I also just enjoyed my evening routine and my mind is in the mood for thinking... must have been a Sativa!
I’m am using kool bloom as my pk booster you recommend not using it? Mixing order is armor si, calmag, micro, grow, bloom. I think next week I’ll be cutting out the grow entirelyThe big issue you run into with Flora Micro and Cal-mg is not only the calcium but the iron. Specially since Micro is already 5% Ca. Both of those can bind with P and become insoluble. Depending on how you are running Flora you might have a ton of P or your mixing order can fuck it all up. Specially if using the trash kool blooms.
