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.

Autoflower week 9, not floweringSo what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9!
I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days.
Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots).
Any advice is appreciated :)

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?

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
