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!

Autoflower week 9, not floweringSo what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9!
I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days.
Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots).
Any advice is appreciated :)

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 �
