Red stems on leaves and stalks in veg cycle can be shortage of nutrients. That doesn't mean you just add more it means you check your runoff water and make sure your ph and ec levels are where they should be. Ph off or ec to high can cause elements to become unavailable to your plant. Reddening/purplish stems is usually a sign, of under nutrients., if it isnt genetic related. Cheers

I've had red stems, have them on my recent plant. Don't seem to hurt them. I've heard genetics or could be to close to light (think sunburn). Your plants don't look to bad.

Purple stems and veins on leavesHey, plant looks heltlhy, she's getting bigger, but has purple stems and veins. What's your opinion on that? I had PH problem before, I watered her with low Ph water only and she got back to shape. Stems were purple before but now even veins on leaves are. Only few of them.Plant. Stem - Red or purple

Hopefully I get back lots of "Don't worry! it will be fine" replies!There is a brown resin coming from where the cotyledon leaves are/were.
Is this something I should be worried about?

Purple stemI read that purple stems can be due to many things... but I’m not sure what this could be - is it a nutrient issue? pH? “Tan”? Genetics?Week 8

Leaves continue to get yellow and fall off. Plant dying, bud looks okay.Still having issues with my plant. Leaves are getting more and more yellow and 2 have fallen off. Pretty far from harvest still for the leaves to be getting this yellow. Temps in tent are 18-22 c with leds 200w act wattage. Overwatered once but I doubt it would cause this. Ideas?5 years ago

Leaves turning yellow/pointing up, stem turning purpleHaving a problem with one of them.. all the leaves have gone very yellow and are pointing upwards. The stem is also very purple now. Any ideas what this could be? Other than a feeding of bud candy and watering here and there it hasn’t gotten any other feeding. Thanks!5 years ago
