Twisted purple curlies

[cyburnt]

Nearly half my outdoor in the N.E. U.S. have twisted purple curly leafage on the tops. I've seen this before, and it isn't terminal but I was wondering if anyone knew the cause and if its preventable. Anyone?

don't quote me on this but i think it might be a minor deficiency cause by cooler than normal root temperatures

Its just a minor def. probly trace element. Just all purpose fertilize should do the trick. Hope this helps.

Yeah i get this too in the NE. I also know its not terminal but would like to know exactly what it is. I believe it might be phosphorous deficiency, which can happen in cooler temps.

it could well be just the colder nights bro..most plants not just MJ will turn a shade off purple if there in colder temp than what there used to....
got any pics?

Sorry no pictures. But this is very distinctive, it is a dark purple coloration like grape jelly which appears in an irregular pattern mostly on grow shoots.

Anything like this Z'?

Boron deficit

Purple coloration is due to anthocyanins showing through, they are always present but chlorophyll usually masks the purples and reds associated with anthocyanins.

Tops usually only twist due to zinc deficiencies.
