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

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?
White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else? This started within the last 1-3 days. The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine. Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Early growth sick plants - photoperiod
Purpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts? Any GH nutrient schedules?

Leaf color
What you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!

Purple/red stems and petioles
Purple/red stems and petioles on upper growth, mimosa x orange punch. I think the plant looks otherwise healthy, lots of growth. Genetic expression or cal/mag deficiency?

Deficiencies? Brown spots, yellowing and purple stems
What is this deficiency or maybe toxicity and whats the solution? She is fed with biobizz chart instructions but with every other watering. She is big so I'm guessing I should water with nutes every time? She showed this first week into flowering.

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.

Nitrogen Toxicity-How will I know if it is better?
I am looking to get some insight into nitrogen toxicity. I have read that any affected leaves will never recover. *Do leaves get lighter? *How will I know if the toxicity has been corrected? *How often to flush? *Additional info greatly appreciated. Thank you.
