No debes preocuparte para nada, las lineas moradas pueden salir hasta por un leve estrés en la planta, si no ves otro síntoma debes sentirte feliz por tu trabajo! Buenos humos! 👌

Nein, kannst beruhigt sein. Ist entweder Genetik, oder Lichtstress.

Purple petioles and cupping downSo, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!Leaves. Curl down

Is it nutrients? Light?What can this be? The stem is red, and I thought it could be over lighting (I had 2 LEDs of 200 W each), so I removed one of it. But now I am also wondering that it can be nutrients, no? If so, how can I solve it? Let me know what you think. It's an autoflower - 7 weeek.Leaves. Curl down

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.Buds. Not fattening

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins.
Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves.
The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high.
I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff.
Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.82y ago

Purple StemsHi, Phenos like Sideral do not normally tend to color at the end of flowering (unlike Wedding Cake). However, the stems are already quite purple! I know low temperatures cause stress causing staining, but that much ? UV's and IR's of led light? An excess of something? Thx a Lot �Week 12
