Hello.. Hope you are well.. Tbh ur plants look amazing atm.. Keep it up.. As to the purple - i assuming itd genetics.. I've grown for a long time and this is common.. Lots of different data on it's most likely genes in plants make up.. I think it mite b temp drops on her aswell as this can bring out colours in flowering.. Not 100% tbh.. She is fine tho don't worry.. If u think ur ph is a bit high then adjust it for her gradually 0.1 ph difference is like 10 or 100 x fold(cant remember my chemistry lessons, was along time ago🤣) Stay safe n gud luck.. 🍀👍

Imho, if not genetics, when the stem of the plants leaves when in veg, turn from their normal green colour to a red purple colour it usually always means not enough ferts. That doesn't always mean underfertilized., could be nute lockout as well. Things are always better underfed than overfed though. Hope this helps.

As mentioned quite a lot already, it's most likely genetics.. If the leaves start turning purple (and it's not a purple strain) then it's most likely a P deficiency, but if it's only the stem, it's not worth worrying, as long as everything else looks healthy happy growing!

I have the same shit again and again, meanwhile I don't do anything about it anymore although it is always said that it is phosphorus deficiency. But apparently it can be genetics.

Most likely this could be due to genetics. She looks quite healthy. If she showed defencies elsewhere then I would say mag def. but in this case however that would be a no. I'd keep an eye on her and if she starts yellowing or anything then feed her nutes to fill in the mag void. I think you'll be fine :) hope this helps!

There are multiple possible reasons for this... One of them is stress... Stress is not always a bad thing, just the right amount of stress can even give you higher yields... But timing and balance are key... Bottom line, I wouldn't panic as long as all your other factors are on point... Good luck👍✌️

Your Ph is fine on earth :-) can even go down to 6.0 - 6.3. I find your Ec value a little low, but your plant looks great :-) At this stage with flowers, I am mostly on 1.4-1.6 ec
