Does this look normal? Purple areas on stem appearing on multiple plants. Day 22 flower

Randy_Custystarted grow question 6y ago

Hi 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?

Purple in stems can be 1) a sign of needing to add some calmag (calcium deficiency although your foliage isn't looking like it has a cal mag deficiency), 2) temperature fluctuations (this is somewhat normal if your temps fluctuate often from cold to warm), 3) Genetics. If you are sure its not a cal mag deficiency or genetics, I would try to just make sure temps are not dropping drastically.

Don't worry. Most of my plants had purple stems. It's embedded in genes.

Stunted Growth, Continue?Hello growers, My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins. Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves. The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high. I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff. Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8

Purple stems on some seedlings?Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?
