Anyone knows the cause of purple stems? And what c...
Stickanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hi @Yung_Ar9! Sometimes purple stems are strain-related, then you don't have to worry, it's just genetics. But if you notice other symptoms, such as brown spots or curly leaves, then it's a sign of a Phosphorous deficiency. Is your container perforated? Otherwise you may have a salts buildup, nutrients are agglutinated somewhere into the soil and your plant cannot absorb Phosphorous anymore. Over-watering can also lead to this nutrients-lockout issue. Roots need to be on a wet/dry cycle to properly develop and spread, searching for water. Do you let the soil dry a bit between each waterings? Also, close up / zoomed pictures could really help us diagnosing your plant's issue. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

Do not worry about purple stems alone as this can be a genetic trait. If you start to notice other issues however especially related to a cal-mag or phosphorus deficiency the. That is what could be causing it. Hope this helps and best of luck on your grow!

I know of two things that can cause purple stems, magnesium deficiency or phosphorous deficiency. The first is rare unless you have really soft water (or RO water), the second is normal in flower stage, just yo the bloom nute a bit

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
