IMAG0031.jpgIMAG0032.jpgIMAG0033.jpgHey there, i have some grape ape and some purple diesel going in veg now. The PD is close to 6 weeks since i cut em. and grape ape is about 2 weeks since i cut.
So what i do is take my big veg plants (2 purple diesel) and put them under my 2 600w hps lights when lights come on, and leave the smaller (grape ape) in the veg tent.
veg tent is about 66-70 and flower room is about 74-78 degrees. Now on my purple diesel i am noticing some pale coloring. not N deficient by any means and some purple coloring
on my branches and fan leaf steams. In the pictures they look really green but its not the green i want! How can i get these ladies to be happy and perky without co2.
Also you can see some yellowing on the leaves of my mother Grape Ape, has really dark purple stems. Are the temps too low? or is it nutrient problems?

Watering with PH 6 tap water. (comes out at 75-100 ppm)
feeding once every other watering around 800-900 pm at PH of 6.

my question is can the heat from moving the PD into the flower room every night be causing heat stress?
Also should i let my water sit out for any period of time? or aerate it before i water?
I want to have healthy happy ladies!
Thanks for the help all!
please ask questions if need be.

I figure the plant will have more light with 2 hps lights rather than a 4x2 t5. Experimenting a little bit, but dont know if im hurting or helping the girls.
Also the veg plants are still in 18/6. i just move them into the flower tent when lights come on at 10 pm, then i put them back in the veg tent at 10 am
when flower lights are off. ya dig?

Hmmm...they look good except for the ones that are all light looking...hmmmm.....perhaps just make sure that you aren't overwatering them....perhaps those ones have different requirements compared with the others...maybe they need more or less...they look either overwatered or hungry to me...I would let them dry out and then feed them and then let them dry and then see how they are doing...and purple leaf stems can be caused by any deficiency, they all can cause purple stems..then some plants just have purple stems anyway..so don't worry about leaf stem color..til it is something other than green or purple...

Ok thanks! Ive had about 8 months of PD experience and i know the PD is a very purple strain all the way to flower. but the yellow tinted grape ape mother has a dark purple stem and looks nothing like the other grape ape clones. I just watered last night with plain PH 6 water so we'll see in the next few days.

I dont know the PH od my soil and never really have unfortunately. So that could also be a problem im thinking.
I use FF Happy frog and the Lucas formula with GH. Im new to the growing world and am trying to learn
the best ways to get good medicine for myself. I know GH seems to always be the fall back point for any grower
but i dont know any different. So that being said, if you have any questions, comments, Q tips...get at me!
Thank you for reading my post and helping! i really appreciate it!

its a PH problem. ive been watering with very acidic water so ill just switch and it should be ok. only yellowing in the mother but its runoff ph is 5.8. the purple diesels just have some dull/pale leaves from the ph changing too much. ill keep ya updated as the week goes on
