This plant isn't developing as intensely as Opium, likely due to its genetic makeup. 🌿 Unlike Opium, which has been growing vigorously, this one has been focusing its energy on the main cola and hasn't developed many side branches. Even now, it doesn't seem to want to bush out. 🌱
I'm not using any training techniques right now, just leaving it as is. Maybe trimmed one leaf. 🍃
I'm hoping it will show more potential during the flowering stage. 🌸 This is the last week I'm giving it FloraGro in this volume. Next week, I'll transition to pre-flowering nutrients, and then to flowering nutrients. 💧
There is actually many reasons behind stems turning red/purple.
1) Genetics. Some strains are breed this way and there is nothing you can do about it. A lot of new stuff coming out look almost black with how dark they get.
2) Phosphorus deficiency. The first signs of phosphorus deficiency is that the stems of your leaves start turning red/purple.
3) Magnesium deficiency can also lead to red looking stems.
4) Cold temps in the grow environment increase the Anthocyanin production which is a purple/red color.
As far as what you are dealing with. Nothing to worry about now, keep an eye on it and if your getting alot more purple/red colors in a lot of the leaves then you should reach back out with some pictures here.
Hope that helps.
