Dark Green Leaves and Purple Stems
Sea_Weaselstarted grow question 2y ago
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.

Leaf stem being purple is ok .. your branches are what you wanna watch out for purple..your branches are green so all good there...looks like too much nitrogen which is why your leaves are dark green .. less nitrogen as you enter into flower .. she looks good aside from the nitrogen.. now she will want more phosphorus and potassium

QuĂ© podrĂa ser? Bloqueo de nutrientes, sobre fertilizaciĂłn? CĂłmo solucionarlo?Hoy lavĂ© raĂces pensando que tuvieran un bloqueo de nutrientes.

Purple stems on some seedlings?Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?Week 1

Leaf colorWhat you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!Leaves. Other
