Purple/red stems and petioles

DotMinatrixstarted grow question 3 years ago

Purple/red stems and petioles on upper growth, mimosa x orange punch. I think the plant looks otherwise healthy, lots of growth. Genetic expression or cal/mag deficiency?

Some strains will have purple stems - I don't know about this particular one but if the plant looks/acts healthy otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see any evidence of a deficiency so I don't think you have anything to worry about! Good luck!

Dark Green Leaves and Purple Stems Plant B has had no nutes its entire life in FFHF soil (3 weeks). Stems are a purplish color and starting to droop a little. Water is always pH'd around 6.3 but I haven't tested the runoff yet. Phosphorus deficiency? Heat Stress? Watering conflict? NL Photo just started flowering.

The stems began to turn red Guys, I need your help! The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves. Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?

Stunted Growth, Continue?Hello growers, My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.

Purple Stems Hi, 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 �
