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.

The purple stem of the leaf indicates a slight phosphorus deficiency!
The deficiency could have occurred due to:
1. Incorrect substrate pH.
2. Too little bloom additive.
3. Too much nitrogen (grow additive).
Solution:
1. Set the soil pH to 6.3pH
2. Reduce the grow additive to 0.4ml/l
3. Increase the bloom additive to 2-2.5ml/l
✋😇👌 Good luck, bro!

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! 👊

Red stems on 5 out of 6 seedlingsMy seedling are about to be a week old and I’m concerned about red stems. All of them have it except one seedling. My temps have been up to 87 at its peak right before the lights shut off and around 71 at the lowest before they turn on.

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.

Purple stemI 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?

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?

Does this look normal? Purple areas on stem appearing on multiple plants. Day 22 flowerHi guys, I just defoliated my plants the other day and today I noticed these purple areas on the main stem of 2 of the plants. Does this look normal or like some sort of deficiency, or could it be stress related from the defoliation?

Purp stalks, weak leaves.Hey guys i noticed that my stalks were all turning purple and my leaves are curling. Is this a nute lock out ? Or is it light burn ? I started them under a pretty powerful Led but still getting new growth through the last 2 days. They look thirsty but medium is still soaked.
