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.

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!

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? It's no. 2, so she is the last one I should be worried about 🤨

Does this look normal? Purple areas on stem appearing on multiple plants. Day 22 flower Hi guys, I just defoliated my plants the other day and today I noticed these purple areas on the main stem of 2 of the plants. Does this look normal or like some sort of deficiency, or could it be stress related from the defoliation?

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?

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?!
