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.

Why are the branches turning purple?
What is causing my plant stems to start to turn purple? They feel stiff and dry, could it be low humidity or am I not watering enough or to much? I water 1L/plant ever other day. PH 6.3-6.5. Should I be concerned?

My seedling is 9 days old now and growth is extremely slow. The stem is a red colour and the leaves are a slight yellow. This is my first ever grow and I just can’t figure it out. I would be grateful if anyone could give me some advice.

Natural or Problem?
Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

Help needed - harvest time?
Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

Red stems on 5 out of 6 seedlings
My seedling are about to be a week old and I’m concerned about red stems. All of them have it except one seedling. My temps have been up to 87 at its peak right before the lights shut off and around 71 at the lowest before they turn on.
