everything is fine now you need light ... sometimes the stem is purple when it is just born, then the color will go away ... if it is a purple it will return to color in bloom but this time the buds

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?

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 🤨

My girls seem to have a deficiency, strangely enough, the gal with the most signs of deficiency is doing the best in bud production. Any ideas on what is going on here and what is the cause of the deficiency? There is also some purple on the stem

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?

Deficiency or toxicity
Stems are really purple, leaf stalks and veins also purple. Something is up. Some leaves starting to show burn spots but not many. She's a bit down because she needs a feeding. Is this magnesium deficiency? Should I be upping my nutes at this point this late in veg end of W9?

Stems becoming red. I didn't use any nutrients yet. Should I add a little bit of them to water? Water pH is about 6.5. Do the leaves look ok?
Looks like stems becoming a little bit red.. I've checked other diaries with this strain and didn't found anything like that. Before transplantation I have completely flushed my soil about 2 times because I found a lot of springtails in. Hope I didn't got rid of all nutrients..
