Why are the branches turning purple?
Frigaultanswered grow question 4 years ago
I go with sunburn as well. It is very normal some strain are more prone to this then other strains. . When there is a limiting factor causing purpling of the stem or leaf you also notice a slower growth related to it... From overwatering to nutrient deficiency or excess to ph swing. But in many cases it is either genetics (happen in shaded parts of the plant has well) or sun burn happen only to parts exposed to light and dosen't interferre with overall general growth nor health of the plant.. everyone likes their girl with a little tan in the summer don't they.

I agree with Nor_Cal_Kannabliss, definitely plant "sunburn", something as an outdoor grower I see once in a while on exposed stems. Not much to worry about in the grand scheme of things.
One litre every other day sounds a bit light on for water, in my opinion.
Also, be careful those wire ties don't cut into the stems while she grows, even if they are rubber coated wire, for if they are too tight, they can end up "strangling" branches. Hope this helps...... Organoman.

I think in your case, its the start of a phosphorus deficiency. Uses a lot during flowering and can cause branches to turn purple, follow by parts of leaves, switching to brown and crispy leaves as it gets worse. Looks like your leaves may have already started this.
Unless this is your last week before harvest, id definately up it until then.

They can do this for a few different reasons. Most likely is is just the plants reaction to your light. Think of it as a sunburn. You removed all it's protection so it's building its own. 🤘😤

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.

Dark Green Leaves and Purple StemsPlant B has had no nutes its entire life in FFHF soil (3 weeks). Stems are a purplish color and starting to droop a little. Water is always pH'd around 6.3 but I haven't tested the runoff yet. Phosphorus deficiency? Heat Stress? Watering conflict? NL Photo just started flowering.

The stems began to turn redGuys, 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?
