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.

Leaves continue to get yellow and fall off. Plant dying, bud looks okay.Still having issues with my plant. Leaves are getting more and more yellow and 2 have fallen off. Pretty far from harvest still for the leaves to be getting this yellow. Temps in tent are 18-22 c with leds 200w act wattage. Overwatered once but I doubt it would cause this. Ideas?5y ago

Purple stemI read that purple stems can be due to many things... but I’m not sure what this could be - is it a nutrient issue? pH? “Tan”? Genetics?Week 8

Nitrogen Toxicity-How will I know if it is better?I am looking to get some insight into nitrogen toxicity.
I have read that any affected leaves will never recover.
*Do leaves get lighter?
*How will I know if the toxicity has been corrected?
*How often to flush?
*Additional info greatly appreciated.
Thank you.5y ago

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

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?

Should I be concerned?Week 10

New red tint on top of branches caused by night of low humidity or other stress?This morning I noticed some branches on my young plants had turned reddish on top.
Last night the humidifier ran out of water and RH dropped to 40% overnight.
Could this just be a stress reaction to that low RH, or sign of a deeper issue?Week 3

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

I checked the soil PH of them and the big plants have a PH of 6.1 and the small ones have a PH of 5.7. What's the best and easiest way to increase my soil PH to 6.5?
