looks normal to me, though a pic of the whole plant would help a bit. But if your not seeing any real health problems and the plants are growing fine and looking happy, don't worry about it. its more than likely just genetics. You shouldn't add salts unless you are 100% sure that its required, since salts can build up quickly in soil/soiless mediums and cause serious problems.

Full pics are coming tomorrow, just snapped these so people could get a visual of what I am talking about.

Well it figures after I gave them some salt. I guess it won't hurt them none. It's not like I have done it over and over. Think I need to flush or just wait and see?

No need to flush...

Don't touch that salt shaker just yet, Queenie!

Do your stems look like this?

Purple Stems

Purple Prose

I am Curious Purple

Look familiar?

This is a perfectly normal genetic variation. It occurs in real store bought seeds as well as bag seed. There is no socio-economic discrimination.

P. S. Just happened to have these photos as someone else asked me the same question a month ago. By the way, these are from G13 Haze.

My grow space never gets cold, so I couldn't say.

Sorry, don't have an answer for that. Your plants look healthy, so I wouldn't worry about the purple color. I have a seedling that is 3 weeks old and I think its stems are starting to turn purple as well. I don't know what causes this. Perhaps it's due to a slight excess of iron? Plants can pick up subtle coloration from the minerals in their soil. Unless you see weird stuff happening with the leaves, I would just enjoy

This is from my last grow. You can see that purple and violet is OK.

Sorry been sick today, will update tomorrow .
 
Re: Queen's Sophmore Grow F - Lemon Skunk - Big Bang - Along With Some Bag Seed Sprou

Thanks, Mark. I feel a little better today but still feel a little weak. I had a fever yesterday but I think it's gone now...I think there is an issue going on with one of the bag seed plants. Now I know I have been told that you can't overwater coco but this one plant's leaves are drooping a little bit. I don't see anything else wrong with it other than that so if I can't over water coco then what the hell is going on with it? Will post a pic later so you can see what I am talking about. The rest of them including lemon skunk and big bang are doing just fine.

what ya think?

hmm i cant wait for the awser for your problem queen ... i would say over water , but im having a problem with one of my plant that looks alot like your's and i dont think um overwatering , and you probably arent either

Yes, I would say over water too but according to what I was told, you can't over water coco. That it has to stay moist or will cause ph problems and I don't really need that since I have no way to check my ph at the moment.
 
Re: Queen's Sophmore Grow F - Lemon Skunk - Big Bang - Along With Some Bag Seed Sprou

What did the bag seed come from?
I have grown a few seeds for some mids. and the leaves just seemed to be to heavy, she drooped like that.

I still say that you can over water coco! Others will not agree though...
I feel that you can over water any medium, especially if your pot drains poorly.

It came from my friendly neighborhood connect. And he usually has some pretty nice stuff and from the high I get or the plants mainly indica. I don't think my pot is draining poorly since it is in coco. But it seems to be holding its own and not getting any worse.
 
Re: Queen's Sophmore Grow F - Lemon Skunk - Big Bang - Along With Some Bag Seed Sprou

Queenie,

I have to agree with everyone else that it's an overwatering problem. Although most people say you can't overwater with coco, you do have to let the medium dry out enough between waterings.

Over Watering:
The plants in figure 5 were on a continous drip system, where nutrient solution is constantly being pumped into the medium. This tends to keep the entire root system completely saturated. A better way would be to periodically feed the plants, say for 1/2 hour every 2-3 hours. This would give the roots a chance to get needed air to them, and prevent root rot and other problems.

Don't be thrown off by the fact that the plants in figure 5 are sitting in still water, this is actually an H2O2 solution used to try and correct the problem. Adding an airstone to the tub would also help add O2 to the solution.

This is from the


I'm almost certain that the plants in the illustration above are in coco. If you notice those weird orange balls, those are used almost exclusively by coco growers to keep the medium damp longer.

By watering too much, you are turning your coco medium into something resembling a hydroponics system without any oxygen.

Here is an explanation of the problem:

Over Watering
Roots require Oxygen to breathe and low levels are the main cause of almost all root diseases. Both soil and hydroponic plants often fall prey to the same syndrome although it is rarely recognized as what it really is. Hydroponic crops often fail due to "root rot" and soil crops succumb to "over watering." The real cause of both these problems is a shortage of Oxygen at the root zone. In a soil system the soil consists of particles, a film of water on the particles and air spaces between the particles. When too much water is put into the soil the air spaces fill with liquid. The roots will quickly use up what Oxygen is dissolved in the water, if they haven't drunk enough of the liquid to allow air back in to the soil spaces they will stop working. In this situation roots will start dying within twenty-four hours. As the roots die the plants ability to drink water and nutrients will decrease, this will cause symptoms of nutrient deficiencies (mostly pale, slow, weak growth), and strangely they will start to wilt like they don't have enough water. It is easy to make a fatal mistake at this point and add more water.

Try one or both of the following:

Stop watering and only water when the coco is virtually dry. This will take a while to correct the problem.

A faster and better way to correct the problem is to do the following:

As explained under the picture above, put the pot in a mild H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) solution.

How to use hydrogen peroxide
H2O2 comes in several different strengths 3%, 5%, 8% and 35%, also sold as food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. The most economical is 35% which we recommend be diluted to three percent before using, as at this high concentration it can cause damage to skin and clothing. When working with food grade H2O2 it is very important that you clean up any spills or splashes immediately, it will damage almost anything very quickly. This is extra important with skin and clothing. Skin will be temporarily bleached pure white if not washed cleaned. Gloves are strongly recommended when working with any strong chemical.

Re: Queen's Sophmore Grow F - Lemon Skunk - Big Bang - Along With Some Bag Seed Sprou

Ggrant, thanks, I do have some peroxide here but I have to see what percentage. But how much water and peroxide to use together? I will try this and sincerely hope I do not have root rot. Even if it does, it is not an epic fail. Knowing is half the battle as GI Joe would say.. I appreciate the great advice. I am glad I was able to diagnose the problem and was actually right...GO ME...
