Hey guys, need some advice on this sucker. Its one week into flowering and things aren't looking so hot.
New growth Is very light green/yellow and pretty scrawny looking as in the pics
purpling stems
canoeing (which seems to be heat stress) moved the lights up

No idea what strain, some dank from up north. Actually had fan leaves with 11 fingers until it was topped.
lightin is a 65w 6500k (2) 55w 2700k (2) 42w 2700k 12/12
Biothrive bloom 2-4-4 feeding half strength every 2 days (watering once a day)
pH is pretty close to 6.3

Red stems could well be cooler night temps, keep an eye on that or may be strain related see chart for correct distance in inches increase venting is best always keep a small fan in there

I agree with Zagon,watering daily can starve the roots of oxygen.

Depends on how well your soil drains, I water daily because my moisture meter shows 4 out of 10 by lights out...if it gets any drier than that your roots will dry and die from what I understand.

I'm most concerned about the yellowing in the second pic..doesn't seem normal to me

From what i understand about moisture meters is that they are mistrusted by most growers.Check the weight of the pot by lifting it,
if it is very light,water/feed,if not light, dnt water/feed.If you must water every day,use some Hydrogen Peroxide to give the roots oxygen.
I cant see any yellowing in 2nd pic,but maybe a slight fading between the veins,also pink stems,which could suggest the start of a magnesium def.

The red stems etc isnt that big of a deal tbh. My outdoor plant at the moment has red leaf stems etc because it gets colder over night I think. Alot of rgorwers get red stems indoors most plants do I think, I reckon she looks algood though bro.

Heres some reding on mine:

diddnt read the whole thread but
as for purple stems.
I get them to a greater or lesser degree
between phases on some strains.

For example out of the cloner into the soil.
It appeares to me that until the roots
are thriving it doesn't eat right.
If I were to try to address them by changing anything it would be redundant
and possibly dangerous as they are
already in the process of recovering
and eating.

Another time I see it is after transplanting into fresh soil for flowering.

Then mid to late flowering.

Again I do nothing and it straightens itself out.

Your mileage may vary.
Soil is what im working with also.

Looks hungry for light AND food IMO.

The yellowing, and/ or drooping can be caused in part by overwatering, which starves the roots of O2, but also, if you wait between watering and learn to read your plant, give time between watering instead of keeping soil always moist, you will build a better root ball and not have to water as often.
Cannabis, by trait, does not like constantly wet roots.

yea, okay...that might have been a little harsh, but a bottle of rum was involved lol. I'm just sayin dude if you add peroxide to your soil the bacteria is gone and you open the door for root rot.

I take it those bulb figures are CFL's and your growing in a small area....?.... Not sure if this is your problem but I had same thing happen a few times to me because of where I live, it's cold all year round. So not sure where you live, if it's cold and if your using a space heater of some sort to regulate your temp, make sure heaters not sitting on floor and directly facing your pots. This will of course cause your soil to dry out quicker and find yourself watering everyday. It took me a while before I figured out what was going on and had to rearrange everything in my given area. If I didn't, my roots would be too dry all the time and the heat from my bulbs (didn't real matter where I had my bulb distance) they would curl inward. Also, say if I had three plants going, for sure two of them, their stem's would darken up and leaves would lighten. I haven't had this happen every again so I am assuming that where I was placing my heater had been the problem. Like I said, not sure if this is your problem but just thought I'd run it by you just in case. Wish you luck and I hope you figure it out Bro.....Peace

Been adding half strength 2-4-4 bloom nutes as I mentioned just about every watering...red stems are slowly and surely going away, but fan leaves are starting to "canoe". I'm pretty sure it's not the lights being too close one because they're CFL and two because im seeing it in some bottom leaves too...could it be salt buildup causing this?
