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.

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!8mo ago
