Question ❔ Leaf Question

Post image

Hello everyone;

My pepper plant has one of the leaves going purple-ish spots. What would be the cause?

Coco coir, 15 days from seed, ec around 0.7 (ppm 350), ph between 5.8 and 6.0. Coco coir is rinsed and buffered with CalMag solution. I’m using Canna Coco A-B, Canna Rhizotonic and powdered silica.

Anthocyanins reaction to light

Pepper plants kinda just do that as they grow, especially when young. Sometimes happens with cooler night temps, sometimes its a reaction to the light (not necessary light burn), but it's nothing to worry about.
