Your plant leaves appear healthy. If just the stems are turning purple, most likely cause is from intense light. Nothing to worry about.

Help needed - harvest time?
Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

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!

Is it nutrients? Light?
What can this be? The stem is red, and I thought it could be over lighting (I had 2 LEDs of 200 W each), so I removed one of it. But now I am also wondering that it can be nutrients, no? If so, how can I solve it? Let me know what you think. It's an autoflower - 7 weeek.

Lila Stil und Hängende Blätter
Hätte da ein paar Fragen die Ihr mir hoffentlich beantworten könnt, liegt die Verfärbung des Stils an der kälteren Temperatur in der Nacht? Hängen die Blätter schlapp nach unten bedeutet das zu viel oder zu wenig Wasser?

Branches purple
Good morning I wanted to know why the branches of the leaves become purple? Is it a lack of nutrient problem or is it a temperature problem? At night the temperature drops to 17/18 degrees! Thank you in advance x the answer

Deficiency?
Non riesco a capire se è una carenza o una bruciatura da luce, secondo voi? Cosa potrebbe essere ? Appare soprattutto sulle foglie a ventaglio....

Whats causing the Stripes on my healthy plant?
My outdoor plant certainly appears healthy, but has developed beautiful burgundy Stripes on the Cola Branches. Can you explain what is happening, is this a genetic trait, or does it need something?
