(1) If the stem is exposed to direct rays of bright light, it can turn red, pink, or purple over time. This will keep the shaded parts of the cannabis green. This is a plant's defense mechanism, usually when using lamps that emit strong UV radiation, such as LEC (this kind of lighting also increases the number of trichomes). In addition, popular stem-bare workouts such as manifolding and defoliation may be at the root of the problem. If there are no other symptoms and the cannabis is healthy and growing rapidly, you have nothing to worry about.
