Why are some of the stems turning red?

started grow question 6y 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.

Stems red/purple because of strain, or stess related? Again, the same strain same everything but seems unstable? Any advice on a better strain?

Is she too far gone or can she come back?
Week 8. Biobizz Light Mix, Biobizz Grow, Biobizz Bloom and Top Max (1ml/L up to 2ml/L). Ph 6.2-6.5. Leaves started yellowing just over a week ago so I started to feed with CalMag at 0.6ml/L. Some of the top leaves are starting to die and new growth is turning yellow quickly.

Purple discoloration on the leaf stems... even though I pay close attention to always watering with a pH of 6.5, something is wrong with my plant... what could be the cause? A nutrient lockout seems to be the case...

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.

Hello everyone, here is this lady with all the purple stems. Do you have any idea what it could be? I suspect the base temperatures during the night period. Share your thoughts, fellow growers.

Rote stängel
Hey, I have 6 Gorilla Glue #4 clones and the top young leaves are turning yellow, and they're also getting red stems and red leaf veins. They're in 10-15 L pots, and I only water every three days, a maximum of 2-3 L of water when the top half is dry. The roots look great!
