I am a first time grower, i am having an issue, on my stem i have a purple spot and my leaves are drooping stems too leaves are purplish not all stems are though. Please HELP. any input would be greatly appreciated
It appears to be a bruise perhaps similar to what one might see on a stalk of celery or similar. Be more gentle when you're snipping off leaves. Otherwise your plant looks very healthy from where I sit. LITFA for another 3 months and you might have a nice harvest. Someone will come along and explain LITA if ya don't know already. Ciao!
Hard to help ya. Don't know strain, nutes used, soil, etc.. Purpling on stems with some strains is just genetic. Your leaves don't really appear to be drooping. Looks like your soil is moist. Sometimes when you water leaves will drop a little and go right back reaching for the sun the next day. It does appear you have some insect damage on some leaves. And by the look of the fence in background, I assume your outdoors and almost impossible not to have insect damage. You know being that the cannabis plant is usually the healthiest plant in the yard and probably pretty yummy to them buggers.. Lol.. I think your letting noobie paranoia get you scared. Your plant don't lime all that bad. The best advice your gonna get is, litfa... Meaning "leave it the fuck alone"... Lol..
Your outdoors, plant some garlic and dandelions around your plant. Natural insect repellant. And spray with neem regularly until about 5 the week of bloom. It will cut down greatly the amount of bugs you will get. Wouldn't hurt to add a little neem meal as a top dress either. Happy growing.and always stay groovy...
Thank you!! And the only thing right now im doing is watering with plain old tap water sometimes bottled, but i got some bayers neem oil cause i think it might be mildew or mold i caught some yesterday it treats for mold and a host of other little critters haven't used it yet, might wait too spray until lights are about too go off
Thanks so much, i dont know the strain either got it outta a bag i bought but didnt know that strain either all i know is it might be an indica
How big is the pot? And how cold does it get at night? Smaller the pot, the less insulation for the roots, so that can make it slightly more sensitive to cold colours. A plant of mine was turning purple at the stem and base of the leaves. Once I transplanted it to a bigger container, it went away over night. It's blueberry, so I expect some dark colour, but not until later. Looking at your plant, it looks like a hybrid to me, Indica dominant, as the leaves are wider, but still long. Wonder how it will turn out. Good luck man.
Thanks man, i have the plant in a pretty big pot it doesn't get cold in there at night so im wondering if its just the strain, but i have a couple new pics too show i will post them in a min
Dont know whats going on with the sex, is this a female? I can't really tell, im about a month a away from the start of flower.
It's hard to say from the photos. Could you post a pic of a close up on where some branches meet the stem? Kind of like the last two, but closer, and a little less blurry if you can.
These are really the best pucs i could take my camera on my phone is being stupid.. And yes all pics are of same plant
they are still in veg lighting? you wont see sex until a few good days after you switch to 12/12. all i can see in those pics are new leaves emerging.
