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

Spider mites?
My partner just cut some clones off of a pre-flowering plant & put them in a root rain spray cloned. Been 2 days since he cut the clones. No roots yet but he’s wondering if he has spider mites & if so what he should do. Do you all notice anything wrong?

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?
