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

Deficiency or toxicityStems are really purple, leaf stalks and veins also purple. Something is up. Some leaves starting to show burn spots but not many. She's a bit down because she needs a feeding. Is this magnesium deficiency? Should I be upping my nutes at this point this late in veg end of W9?5y ago

Plants stress on first grow, no nutes yet. Barney's Cookies Kush.These badass ladies were planted March 20th. I have not fed them yet (not sure when to start nutes when growing in soil). They are showing some stress. Nutes and bigger pots maybe? My light is a Mars Hydro TS600. General hydroponics trio is my plan.Plant. Stem - Red or purple

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!5y ago
