If the stems are red where they are facing the light, but green underneath, then it's just a sunburn which is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
Red stems all the way around are usually genetic or indicate you need more bloom nutes.

Spots on leafs, and lime green topsI am beginning to see leaf damage again, so i would like to ask if you guys could point me in the direction of my problem. I suspect either light damage, or ph issues building up over time. It started before i gave the first flower nutes, tops seem deeper green since that though3y ago

Autoflower week 9, not floweringSo what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9!
I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days.
Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots).
Any advice is appreciated :)6y ago

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?5y ago
