Critical purple o grandsdy purple the guy didnt know which is which. I see alot of week 5 in flower that i google. I watch alot of videos learning things. Mine is still growing. It looks healthy. Just concerned. Can i cut the bigger leaves on top to make more light fo leaves on bottom
Im guessing other strains may take longer though… i am growing in my closet

I dont see any signs that ur plant is in flower.
You can. Most do some tucking and LST rather than leaf pluck tho.

No it isnt in flower. Not even close. This is my second grow. Im trying to make this one better than the first. Just concerned if it should be. Ive been doing research. I didnt realize i had my light on 50% so I turned it up

Your plant needs every leaf it has. More lighting will help you get a better result.
Autos typically flower at btw 4 and 7 weeks of age, though we have seen a few of them take up to 12 weeks to flower. Once you plant flowers, it will take 10 additional weeks to harvest.

Cannabis is cannabis and the differences between the various strains, from a growth perspective, is trivial. There are minor differences such as sativas taking a little longer to ripen flower or coloration at harvest. The only major differences between the strains is the cannabinoid content and their terpine profiles. All cannabis strains are grown the same in terms of grow management (grow media, pH, PPM, lighting levels, and so on…)

Probably need some nitrogen and less watering.

Waxy, slight clawing

Yeah does look like a bit of possible N toxicity

I agree with the dark leaves and clawing seen in the 2nd pic. OP: do you know your runoff PPM? What soil are you using? What product(s) are you feeding?

The “leaves and stems” are drooping, looks like over watering. If he had N tox, those leave tips would be curling down. I don’t see his tips curling down. I also think if he has N tox we would see other deficiency showing face on the lower leaves. Just my 2cents.
This is N tox below. Just tips point down to the soil. The stems don’t droop. I bet his runoff ppm is normal.
The bottom are not your producers. If want stretch take that little stuff on bottom and remove it. Force her to go up and forget the bottom. Photo or auto? Makes a difference. If photo just veg on. If auto get all you can. Dont steal from the canopy. Just my thoughts.

Notice stems don’t droop, but leaf tips pointing to soil. That’s N tox.
After seeing N tox, your indicator leaves will show some stress from it. Lockout, ph fluctuating, red/purple stems, etc.
I think his case is over watering unless his tips really start to point to the soil like photo above. Just my 2cents.
Op: I would do leaf tucking instead of cutting them off.

I have happy frog soil. I am feeding it fox farm big bloom. I may add tiger blodd with it to my next feeding. My ph tester broke so i am eaiting for the other one to be in the mail this week. Hope before my next feedi g so i can find all that out
If you are feeding Big Bloom, then you should also be feeding Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and a cal/mag product. Big Bloom only contain micronutrients such as boron, copper, iron, etc. Plants also need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Regarding that last pic - ignore it. It is normal for a plant to shed its lower leaves as it ages.
Purple stems are normal and not indicative of a problem.
The N tox isn’t really bad enough to worry about too much. Plants will respond differently to such conditions, and your plant seems to have a tendency to claw. It is what it is. If were too much of an issue, then you would also be seeing dark, waxy leaves.
Manage your runoff PPM and you should be good-to-go.
