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

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?

Calcium deficiency or overfed?
Hi. This is about my Apricot Auto which already suffered the yellow tips/edges. I took that as the result of heat/light stress. Now she also developed discoloration and brown spots on some of the leaves. It looks like a Calcium deficiency to me, but I am quite uncertain. Thanks!

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.

Purple petioles and cupping down
So, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!

Might be something, might be nothing
The stem of my seedling is starting to turn a purply colour? But the plant seems strong and healthy by looking at the leaves. I have been watering twice a day, app. 80ml each time from the bottom up and spraying about 4 pumps every 2nd water.

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?

OK here's today's update, 3/9/22. They are all doing great, they're all standing proud now! I think they needed to dry out a little, more light and needed the extra nuts. What do any of you guys think could've caused these symptoms that my girls are/have shown?
