If you use training methods like LST or defoliation, you may notice the exposed stems of your plants turning red, pink, or purple over time. This is completely normal and shouldn’t be cause for concern as long as your lights are sufficiently distanced and your plants look otherwise healthy.

фиолетовый стебель листа говорит о легком дефиците фосфора! дефицит мог произойти из-за: 1. некорректного ph субстрата. 2. слишком мало добавки bloom. 3. слишком много азота (добавки grow). Решение: 1. установить ph почвы в значении 6.3ph 2. уменьшить добавку grow до 0.4ml/l 3. увеличь добавку bloom до 2-2.5ml/l ✋😇👌 Удачи, бро!

It's like a little sunburn on your girl.. It's like what would happen if you were out in the sun for too long. It's a defensive mechanism. And nothing to be alarmed over! Happy growing! 👊

Dark Green Leaves and Purple Stems Plant 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.

The stems began to turn red Guys, 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?

Fixed soil PH: Now from young leaves' interveinal chlorosis to all over light green Soil Ph was off: 7.1. Switched to phosph. acid and use Epsom salt. Now: 6,4ph, Ca/Mg ratio at 3:1 (instead of 11:1). Used foliar spray (GH Enhancer). Ladies still show deficiencies: Now all over light green. Didn't feed Bloom due to overfeeding in grow. Will give Bloom in two day

Is this normal?Hey guys and gals, it's my first time growing so I just want to make sure this is a normal looking Seedling. It sprouted about 2 days ago and is smaller than the rest of my seedlings. Maybe genetics? What's your opinion?
