Purple stems/Advice
Tasteless_Colorsstarted grow question a year ago
I am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

LGTM ^^
But check the temps, especially the nights, which I suspect are a little cold. When it's cold, some varieties show off their purple coulours. It's not dramatic, but may hide phosphorus deficiencies to the eyes.
> Purple stems are usually just from the stem being exposed to LED lighting.
Tss… bro-science. 💩

Your plants appear quite healthy overall. No drooping, no visible signs of deficiencies or toxicities of any kind, no taco-ing of the leaves, a great shade of green. It probably is just genetics and I personally never worry about purple stems (I get them frequently). Plants always turn out good regardless. This is as far as my knowledge goes. Hope it helps! Good luck!

White Mold at RootsI got some kind of white mold in the root area, I'm not sure what it is but I think I know what caused it, The reason is I was being kinda sloppy with letting the run off water sit under the plants for a day or two. Should I flush the plants now and cut them? And will it spread?Week 13

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?4 years ago

How to increase successful cloning rateI am cloning with about 50% success rate.
- I used perlite/peat mix as a medium as I am lacking the Rockwool cubes.
- Temps remain steady at ~24degC/75degF
- RH range from 75-90%
- Considering heat mat, wonder if this will help
Would love any recommendations/tips for cloning!Week 9

Damping OffI started with 2 seed, Purple haze ( that you can show in my previous question) and White Diesel.At first i was thinking that my light was too far from the plant but now i m thinking that both of them might have symptoms of Damping Off. I decided to take Purple out so its dead.Roots. Other

What to do with clones?Please tell me what is better to do with clones? At the moment they are in a cheap liquid from the store. I didn't buy clonex because I didn't plan on making clones. I would like the top of the plant to turn into a full-fledged bush👺Week 4

Roots poking through bottom of pot.I just noticed yesterday that I’m starting to have a significant amount of roots shooting through the bottom of the pot. This far into the grow, would you recommend transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric or you think she’ll be ok?Week 7
