Why are some of the stems turning red?
kevgrowstarted grow question 5 years ago
Today I noticed on Plant #1 some of the stems closer to the light are turning red, is this a bad thing? Should I lower light intensity

also consider that in flowering plants produce less chlorophyll, and consequently the leaves of the leaves above all but also the main ones and even the buds become purple. however, it does not seem like a deficiency.

Looks like sunburn. It's not a reason for concern unless it develops other symptoms.

If they are green underneath then its from too much light, if they are all the way red then its lack of phosphorous.

Leaf problem and purple stemsHi,
I have a problem with my auto.
I have purple stems and problems with the leaves.
The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem.
Is it a nitrogen deficiency ?
Thank you for the answerLeaves. Curl up

Purple stems and veins on leavesHey, plant looks heltlhy, she's getting bigger, but has purple stems and veins. What's your opinion on that? I had PH problem before, I watered her with low Ph water only and she got back to shape. Stems were purple before but now even veins on leaves are. Only few of them.Plant. Stem - Red or purple

Hopefully I get back lots of "Don't worry! it will be fine" replies!There is a brown resin coming from where the cotyledon leaves are/were.
Is this something I should be worried about?

Leaves continue to get yellow and fall off. Plant dying, bud looks okay.Still having issues with my plant. Leaves are getting more and more yellow and 2 have fallen off. Pretty far from harvest still for the leaves to be getting this yellow. Temps in tent are 18-22 c with leds 200w act wattage. Overwatered once but I doubt it would cause this. Ideas?5 years ago
