Stems turning purple is more about genetics and phosphorous transportation.. It doesn't mean a deficiency unless it happens in a different way.. A good way to tell if it's genetics is if it a "photo sensitive" reaction. Ie is the purple stems on the top? yup then nothing to worry about.. If you wanna experiment with this you can cover parts of the stem and you will see them turn green again. Lst later rather then sooner in my opinion.. Obviously you don't wanna lst a 3 footer but I'd wait a week or so.

red stems means generally a lack of phosphorous, if base contains enough of it maybe need more magnesium that increase P uptake; another possibility is a bit wrong pH

hi there, if you want to bend her over for LST, then you could start with it, yes..
in regards to the stems turning purple: this can be genetics, or if it's in the stem it could be a magnesium issue, in case of magnesium i would however also expect to see more other signs on the leaves.. I wouldn't worry about it, unless you also see other signs.
if the leaves were turning purple, and not the stems it would most likely be a P deficiency..
happy growing

Natural or Problem?Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advanceš

The stems began to turn redGuys, I need your help!
The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves.
Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?

Dark Green Leaves and Purple StemsPlant B has had no nutes its entire life in FFHF soil (3 weeks). Stems are a purplish color and starting to droop a little. Water is always pH'd around 6.3 but I haven't tested the runoff yet. Phosphorus deficiency? Heat Stress? Watering conflict? NL Photo just started flowering.

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.
