Purple stem
HappySkunkstarted grow question 5y ago
I read that purple stems can be due to many things... but I’m not sure what this could be - is it a nutrient issue? pH? “Tan”? Genetics?

Dark red or purple stems is bad during veg. Not sure how effects flower. I can see your stems are tri-toned. Add bit of cal-mag to your watering. Or put your pH around 6.7 until problem goes away.

Hi, thank you guys! She already has a cal deficiency, which I know can cause a purple stem... but if that’s all it is then it’s under control - so I’m relieved - and maybe some of it is genetics.

If the plant is otherwise healthy (looks like it is) and there are no other signs of deficiencies, then it’s just genetics. Nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Hopefully I get back lots of "Don't worry! it will be fine" replies!There is a brown resin coming from where the cotyledon leaves are/were.
Is this something I should be worried about?
It's no. 2, so she is the last one I should be worried about 🤨

Soil PH needs to be increased. What do I do?Hey everyone. I've noticed my plants are getting purple stems and not really growing as much as other plants. I checked the soil PH of them and the big plants have a PH of 6.1 and the small ones have a PH of 5.7. What's the best and easiest way to increase my soil PH to 6.5?

I think I have nut issues?OK here's today's update, 3/9/22. They are all doing great, they're all standing proud now! I think they needed to dry out a little, more light and needed the extra nuts. What do any of you guys think could've caused these symptoms that my girls are/have shown?

Leaves bright greenSo I have ruled out the fact that this is not a ph problem, have been properly watering at a consistent ph of 6.5, tested the run off today and it's at a pH of 6.4, also there is purple stems and the main stock has purple running through it as well?!?! Is this lack of pk? ca/mg?

Purple stems and veins on leavesHey, plant looks heltlhy, she's getting bigger, but has purple stems and veins. What's your opinion on that? I had PH problem before, I watered her with low Ph water only and she got back to shape. Stems were purple before but now even veins on leaves are. Only few of them.

Purple StemsHi, Phenos like Sideral do not normally tend to color at the end of flowering (unlike Wedding Cake). However, the stems are already quite purple! I know low temperatures cause stress causing staining, but that much ? UV's and IR's of led light? An excess of something? Thx a Lot �
