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!!

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?

Natural or Problem?
Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

Deficiency and assimetric development
My girls seem to have a deficiency, strangely enough, the gal with the most signs of deficiency is doing the best in bud production. Any ideas on what is going on here and what is the cause of the deficiency? There is also some purple on the stem

Help needed - harvest time?
Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

Purple stems on some seedlings?
Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?
