This looks like a deficiency or nutrient burn? One of the leaves has purple discoloration on it. On the left side.
Yep, you're right
View attachment 858919 View attachment 858920 So I have some light green growth coming from the flower sites. Fed them yesterday and they lightened up a bit today. I am using FFOF but the soil is almost 2 weeks old since the last transplant. I am trying to do an organic feed this time and avoid synthetics if possible to see the difference. Last night I fed them bat guano, with molasses, epsom salt, and ogbiowar Nute, root, and foliar packs. Any idea what’s causing this?
The reason I initially thought to give them a feeding was bc I had my light moved closer about 5 days ago and they immediately lightened up a lot actually. I moved the light up a bit and they started to recover a bit. I guess I just thought they might could use a kick. Feed them very light feedings and tbh I thought that using what I am using wasn’t the same thing as bottled nutrients from a Nute company...I’m just trying to learn and understand the process, so just trying to be as thorough as possible to cover every angle. These are the pics from when I first moved the light closer to them. The one that’s worse is the first day before I moved the light, the other is the next day I’m pretty sureThats a lot of nutrients. I find less is more in most cases. Unless you are having a particular issue with your growing medium i'd keep it as simple as you can.
By adding boosters and additives on top you risk introducing issues into your grow, which is exactly what the hydro shops want because it'll keep you coming back for more bottles.
The best cannabis isn't grown with lots of additives.
Some on occasion are ok as long as you know what they are doing and that it will benefit your ecosystem, but adding boosters because the bottle says so isn't a good idea. You can easily create a hostile environment doing this.
With that being said your plants look fine so far. Keep an eye on them and adjust accordingly. I find most issues are attributed to too many nutrients. I rarely see plants suffering from too little nutrients.
I had not fed them any nutrients at this pointThe reason I initially thought to give them a feeding was bc I had my light moved closer about 5 days ago and they immediately lightened up a lot actually.

Appreciate it!The light green could have been from accelerated growth. As they grow new shoots they tend to start out lighter green and then within a day or two they go darker. The reason I say this is because the light green isn't limited to just the top, it is also down lower in the plant.

This only happens because N trans locates faster than Ca does in a plant. Those light green growths are lacking Ca and is why they are light green. Just an FYI.
Foliar some Ca, OP. Feed that girl!
I am from the less is more school of thought, and I don't really use many nutrients at all. Foxfarm is typically pretty hot and I've seen a lot of growers burn their ladies by adding nutrients and fertilizers to it. I use the same soil from start to finish and haven't had any problems at all. I just use regular 20-20-20 fertilizer every 10 days, some wood ashes and compost/manure in the promix...and that's pretty much it. All of those extras can upset the balance of nutrients or possibly burn the plants/roots. Your plants look pretty good for the most part and I would hold off on feeding them until they show signs of being hungry. Some nutrients, when overloaded in the soil, can cause purple streaking. Not the same as stems turning purple from sun/light exposure, more like veins of purple running along the stems. Keep up the good work!Thats a lot of nutrients. I find less is more in most cases.

@Jimster @Dirtbag @Smoking Gun @Bulldog420 @JMW2 alright alright good info. Lights will be on soon and i’ll Post some follow ups. For the record, I am new to growing and to forums. This was the first that was recommended. It’s cool that you guys are here to help people. Good vibesI am from the less is more school of thought, and I don't really use many nutrients at all.
