Purple stalks and stems :(

[Viva La OG]

So about 50% of the stalk turns purple along with all of the fan leave stems. Moved from outdoors to indoors using 138 "true" watts of CFL. It's just a single plant, so it's in a 1 square foot box. Miracle gro organic soil is being used. Leaves are also drooping, almost resting on each other. What could cause this? I understand that this could be a big problem. The fert used is a fish fertilizer along with 2 helpings of bone meal from seedling to now. I would say it's been around a month, and the plant is green and all, but these stems and leaves are concerning me. The plant is about 111" tall or so. Please help!

drooping sounds like wilt from lack of water.
purple could just be the strain... or cold temps... or both...

111" tall? That's over nine feet/3 meters tall. In one month? To hell with the purple stems and droopy leaves, I'm gonna get me some Miracle-Gro! LOL.

Seriously though, what is your pH? The purple stems can be a sign of a lockout due to pH problems.

I meant 11" tall, not 111" haha. I suppose the ph should be checked. Can you get testers at a home depot or something? And what range should it be in order for it to be healthy? I don't think it's a water problem because it got plenty of water yesterday, and the soil is still a bit damp.

Purple indeed could be the strain, Miracle grow could be an issue. I dont like mix with ferts cause its hard to tell what nutes they are getting over time especially with time released shit. Did you transplant it to a new pot? When I hear leaves drooping I think of shock or stress. Have you introduced anythig new?

Any way you could post some pics?

You can get P.H. testers all over the place. I would suggest Ebay, I hot mine for $15 US and it has worked for me for about 9 months. But like I said before droop to me immediately drops a "stress" flag.

Another thing is light. I have seen plants, not only ganja, say my wifes "christmas cactus" almost instantly perk up with better light.

hey man i use the same soil .. u need to add lime... its the ph im sure of it,although ive never really measured ph.after i added lime my plants grew alot quicker and they looked soOOOOO GOOD.green perky leafs with nice green stems. also you need to add perlite if you havent already.... etc..

 

[Viva La OG]

Ok, well I added perilite already, and I was going to go get some purified water just in case the water has something to do with it as well. This is just a single plant, so how much lime do I need to use, and is there any specific method of adding the lime?
