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

IDEAS?! double cookies auto BSF
I had too much N at the beginning of the flowering stage, I did a root flush and everything got worse! Now, almost 1 or 2 weeks from finishing flowering, she looks like this. After the root flush, I continued with fertilizers normally just like the others and the others are in good shape!

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?
So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Why are the branches turning purple?
What is causing my plant stems to start to turn purple? They feel stiff and dry, could it be low humidity or am I not watering enough or to much? I water 1L/plant ever other day. PH 6.3-6.5. Should I be concerned?

Branches purple
Good morning I wanted to know why the branches of the leaves become purple? Is it a lack of nutrient problem or is it a temperature problem? At night the temperature drops to 17/18 degrees! Thank you in advance x the answer

Leaf problem and purple stems
Hi, I have a problem with my auto. I have purple stems and problems with the leaves. The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem. Is it a nitrogen deficiency ?

Hey, I have 6 Gorilla Glue #4 clones and the top young leaves are turning yellow, and they're also getting red stems and red leaf veins. They're in 10-15 L pots, and I only water every three days, a maximum of 2-3 L of water when the top half is dry. The roots look great!
