Not a real problem, some strains naturally have red stems, especially when flowering and it won't effect yields or potency, so nothing to be worried about, it is not a serious issue in the least and can be ignored, your plant will be A OK. Cheers, Organoman.

Need better pics. Could be genetics. if not.....If the plant is healthy its strong light intensity. If that's the only issue its nothing to worry about.👊

Purple stem I read that purple stems can be due to many things... but I’m not sure what this could be - is it a nutrient issue? pH? “Tan”? Genetics?

Leaf problem and purple stems Hi, I have a problem with my auto. I have purple stems and problems with the leaves. The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem. Is it a nitrogen deficiency ? Thank you for the answer

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?

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?

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.
