So I haven't had time to do much trimming I grabbed a few clones and will do more trimming this weekend. She went to flower on the 1st Saturday. You mentioned the tips having the purple ..possibly ph or mag def. I didn't know that's what that was and never thought it was a big deal cause it stays on just the tips. I'm still new to this and got lucky my first grow, so I got lots to absorb. :P thanks for the insight! I think the tips are looking better what do you think? I've made sure the ph has been 6.5 and think it took care of it.

Not the tips, the stem part of the leaves and now you can see the purple stripes in the trunk/branches too. Not magnesium though, phosphorus or maybe pH is most likely. If the pH is 6.5 then that should rule that out so unless you're running purple genetics it's probably a P def...

Here is a plant abuse chart, including pictures, with common problems and solutions from the old Overgrow GrowFAQ.

Well another rookie mistake. I just haven't devoted the proper time it takes to grow. The abuse chart is very helpful. My next grow I vow to put the time into it. The new growth doesn't have purple in the stems. I haven't had time to trim it better. I'm glad I didn't have more plants going as I've proven that I wouldn't be able to keep up. I'm going to really put the time into the clones. Pics are from Sunday.

The better control you have over the environment the better the results will be but you don't have to trim it... ;)

It's been a rough few days. It turned hermie on me. I had left the door open on about three different times so I allowed light in. So I have purchased a couple if tents to help with protecting the dark time. My question now is. Are the clones I took going to be herms? I have two from the veg and one from early flower???

That depends, if it's purely from environmental issues then the clones might not turn hermie but if it's bad genetics, they might.
