It means you can feed a little bit more with nutrients. let's try to raise up with 200 ppm to see if it goes to be green. good luck.

Purple stem
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?

Leaves turning yellow/pointing up, stem turning purple
Having a problem with one of them.. all the leaves have gone very yellow and are pointing upwards. The stem is also very purple now. Any ideas what this could be? Other than a feeding of bud candy and watering here and there it hasn’t gotten any other feeding. Thanks!
