Dark Green Leaves and Purple Stems

Sea_Weaselstarted grow question a year 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.

Dark lush green leaves is normally a sign to to much Nitrogen, this can also be influenced by extra Magnesium in the soil. Purple is sometimes a reaction to the LED lights, it can also be a sign of early Magnesium deficiency or some other stressors. It can also be genetic as some plants are purple. Looks at the stains page your growing if its from a common breeder on the site and see if any other plants were purple. take note it could be a phenotype as well as not all of them may purple up.

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
