Red Stems…
LSchnabelanswered grow question 2y ago
There could be a few reasons why this happens. First of it could be genetics that is causing this and there is nothing you can do about it.
Second would be a nutrient deficiency. Mostly a phosphorus or potassium. Majority of times it would be phosphorus.
It appears like your plant is doing well other than this. So I wouldn’t change anything. However if you did want to add about 10-20% more fertilizer to your mix then you could easily do that the next two feedings.
I hope this helps.

Are these stems and veins in the leaves the only "problem" you're encountering? I think you're overthinking things. Acquiring a little color to these areas is pretty common, especially in older growth, and isn't necessarily a sign of deficiency.

Could be a phosphorous deficiency, but the plants seem healthy enough, I wouldn't worry too much.
A P/K booster may help.

Yellowing and Reddening of older fan leavesI’m experiencing a lot of yellowing that progresses into dark red blotches.

Have a look at my leaves that have turned yellow and red. I've search online and can't seem to find a similar picture. Is this normal due to late flowering in some plants? Is this a nute problem? If I add the needed nutes, will this clear up? What's going on?Week 8

yellow/copper appearance in some leaves after first run off wateringhi! after the first run off watering the girls seemed alright, sturdy and firm but some of the leaves (one leaf, 3 plants currently) experienced copper/yellow/orange tints .
this is only on old leaves so looks like mobile nutrients.
could this be cal-mag issues?4y ago
