Whats causing the Stripes on my healthy plant?
1Right_Anglestarted grow question 5y ago
My outdoor plant certainly appears healthy, but has developed beautiful burgundy Stripes on the Cola Branches. Can you explain what is happening, is this a genetic trait, or does it need something?

In vegging it can be a magnesium deficiency but in flowering it is part of the growth. Looks like your in preflowering now. Good luck nothing to worry about.

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

Deficiencies? Brown spots, yellowing and purple stemsWhat is this deficiency or maybe toxicity and whats the solution? She is fed with biobizz chart instructions but with every other watering. She is big so I'm guessing I should water with nutes every time? She showed this first week into flowering.5y ago

Soil PH needs to be increased. What do I do?Hey everyone. I've noticed my plants are getting purple stems and not really growing as much as other plants. I checked the soil PH of them and the big plants have a PH of 6.1 and the small ones have a PH of 5.7. What's the best and easiest way to increase my soil PH to 6.5?
