Genetics mainly, or phosphorous deficiency in some rare cases.

Sometimes red stems can be down to genetics, hear stress or she may be hungry. Good luck!!

Deficiencies? Brown spots, yellowing and purple stems
What 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.

No Color Loss - Week 7 Flower?
Sup Gromies! Got a quickie for yall. Usually around week 5 of flowing the plants tend to fade in color as the buds use up the nutes from the leaves. Well this AMS AK-47 XTRM is holding its color and tomorrow is the start of week 7! The strain only has an 8 week flower. Thoughts?

Can someone help diagnose my plants? I can’t seem to find anything online. Stems turn red over time, leaves are super dry and droopy even though the soil is wet. I have burnt tips on two of my side branches but that’s it. Not sure what’s going on, first grow! Please send help

Spots on leafs, and lime green tops
I am beginning to see leaf damage again, so i would like to ask if you guys could point me in the direction of my problem. I suspect either light damage, or ph issues building up over time. It started before i gave the first flower nutes, tops seem deeper green since that though

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?
White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else? This started within the last 1-3 days. The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine. Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)
