Seedling stem is turning red...

Butzemannstarted grow question 2 years ago

Hello people! The stem of my little one is turning red... do I need to worry? Leaves are growing just fine but it didn´t grow vertically in the last day. RH is a bit low at 65% (VPD is about 1.05) Thank you in advance!

While it may be nothing to worry about, red stems can also indicate a lot of stress... If this were my grow, I'd stop giving it any nutes (too young!) and just give it pH'd water for the next week or so.... She's also looking quite leggy - I'd get her closer to the light.. Good luck!

Stems can go red for many reasons. One of them being from light exposure. Nothing to worry about

Don't worry! A lot of genetics have red stems in seedling :) sometimes in outdoor it happens when the nights are still cold! Good luck bro! :)

Fall Recovery How is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Does too concentrated STS cause inviable pollen? Despite dabking seeing "seeds all over", There were none. someone didn't get the joke. This fem seed run failed. Lower concentrationn gave 1000s, instructed concentration gave 100s, this OD gave zero despite 100% conversion.
