I wouldn't be worried, your plant will grow fine. Some strains have purple stems naturally and I don't believe purple stem to be a real issue. Hope this helps,....... Organoman.

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!
