Hey growmie... A Magnesium deficiency can cause reddish purple stems. A good cannabis-friendly nutrient system has a significant amount of magnesium, but if you're using very soft water, or RO water, you may need to add a Cal-Mag to your nutrient regimen. Temperature – Heat or especially cold can trigger red stems in some places also. Sometimes it can even be genetics. Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Hey there, bro! 👋 The reddish leaf stem indicates a phosphorus deficiency. A phosphorus deficiency can occur due to a lack of phosphorus in regular watering or because an excess of nitrogen blocks phosphorus absorption. You're not in a critical situation, there's no danger to the plant. Stick to your feeding schedule, but don't overdo it with nitrogen (N), as it can worsen the phosphorus deficiency a bit. 👌😇👍 Good luck, bro! 👋

It's going to do to be either genetics or slight sunburn from your lights. Nothing to be worried about at all! Happy Growing! 🤟😜

I'll just leave this here.Only a few leaves, but should I be worried? Last few waters have only had calmag to see if that helps.

What are these yellow/brown dots and how can I prevent more from developing?Yellow/brown dots appeared midway through week 4 of flowering. More prominent on upper fan leaves. Gave it nutrient tea (flower nute/worm casting/CalMag) so hopefully that will help. Can’t test pH so difficult to tell if it’s lockout. Added new 600W light this week too.

Spotty/Blotchy Discoloration on leaf.What is this spotty/blotchy discoloration on this leaf? None of the other plants have it, it didn't brush off when rubbed. Hoping it isn't a mold or a pest...I have been keeping the humidity around 65% with good airflow, but I'm wondering if it's time to bring it down to 60%.

Droopy leaves, curling at tips, and now brown/yellow splotches on leaves in DWC. Not sure what the issue is Unfortunately, I can only write so much here, but I have a lot more details in my grow diary. The droopiness started about 3-4 days ago, but now has started showing deficiencies in the leaves, and plants seem stunted on height. Day 19 since sprout.

Is this a calcium issue?I noticed some discoloration on several leaves but not widespread. I think it is calcium deficiency but to make sure. Whatever ails her, a more informed opinion would ease my mind. Also, if it is a calcium issue, would raising from 3 to 5ml/gal of calmagic resolve it? (DWC)
