So this is a controversy in the cannabis industry! Many say it’s just genetics—- while others say it’s stress caused by… you name it. I have grown dank frosty nugs where the stem was bright pink—- so I wouldn’t worry! Good luck! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

So it’s pretty normal for the stems to look like that. Sometimes it’s genetics, sometimes it can be from LEDs. Looks like you got a lot of light power, so make sure you obtain some ‘calmag’ as plants grown under such strong lights can burn through it, and need supplementation.

Leaves turning yellow/pointing up, stem turning purple Having a problem with one of them.. all the leaves have gone very yellow and are pointing upwards. The stem is also very purple now. Any ideas what this could be? Other than a feeding of bud candy and watering here and there it hasn’t gotten any other feeding. Thanks!
