Purple Stems

Mattustonstarted grow question 5y ago

Hi, Phenos like Sideral do not normally tend to color at the end of flowering (unlike Wedding Cake). However, the stems are already quite purple! I know low temperatures cause stress causing staining, but that much ? UV's and IR's of led light? An excess of something? Thx a Lot �

Nothing to worry about man. You're leaves look very healthy. Some strains just have purple/brown stems. Its all genetics. Purple weed will more likely have purple stems.

The stems began to turn red Guys, I need your help! The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves. Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?

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?

Why are the branches turning purple?What is causing my plant stems to start to turn purple? They feel stiff and dry, could it be low humidity or am I not watering enough or to much? I water 1L/plant ever other day. PH 6.3-6.5. Should I be concerned?
