I also have purpleing on my Blue Cindy plant I'm growing out right now, and next to it in the same tent I have a Maltezerz with no colouring on it, they are by the same breeder, G13 Labs. I feels its all about the genetics and that some lights will express this trait more. I think that LEDS be them full spectrum have spikes in the blue/red range and this is what causes the streaks to be more evident on indoor grows, I would not be surprised if this is also linked to light intensity and how close the diodes are to the plants. I don't have any stains that I have grown indoors and outdoors to fully test this out but I would not be surprised if this is part of the case. I view it sort of like how some tomatoes will blush blue/purple or more red/pink if they are exposed to full sun on that side of the fruit. I notice apples do the same thing but its tends to be deep reds or pinks that get expressed on the sun kissed portion vs purples. Given how locked in you have things I do not think this is at all any PH stress or imbalance in nutrients. I don't know what bearings internally tend to make the plant express this. Both the ones I'm growing are Sativa dominate but the blue cindy is growing more like a Indica phenotype so who knows. I have heard that strains that are known to go purple or have fruity sents in its lineage are more likely for this. but its not scientific in any way. just anecdotal. Over all it looks to be healthy and I would not put much thought into the whys. This will follow though into the petioles for my plants that I have noticed this on. I also let my plants get quite chilly at night down to 16c and up to 28c in the day. this maybe another factor. Good Luck!

Generally a genetic thing, but can also be a phosphorous deficiency, but after seeing how many things you are feeding, I would not say it is a deficiency of any sort! Either way, it won't affect yields, growth rates or potency.

if it is mostly where a stem is exposed to light, could be LED... nothing you can do here can also be a deficiency in P deficiency if only the petioles.. can also be a Sulfur deficiency if long streaks in stems. and on top of all that could be locked out by something elses or pH... so, use what info you have and eliminate possibilities. Magnesium Sulfate is an option to add S, but need to consider how much Mg you already provide too. It's worth while in these cases to know what you feed per molecule in PPM. A little spreadsheet can haelp autocalculate such things as you change your dosage fields. manic botanix also has an online calculator. if a formula doesn't work well for 80-95% of strains, it's not a good formual, imho. only minor adjustments should ever be necessary except for oddball plants that are fairly rare in the first 100+ plants i've grown. Not sure if i had one that required anything drastically different at all.

No hay de que preocuparse, puede ser por genética de la planta, puede ser causado por estrés o desequilibrio de PH. Que buen trabajo estas haciendo! Bendiciones
