Hi :) The stems of the leaves of my auto orange bud have turned red in the last days… It‘s also happening to lower leaves. Is this issue related to nutrient deficiency? Thanks in advance for any guidance :))

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.

I find my stems go red, sometimes Mg helps sometimes P helps. its weird. I also feel my lights cause some of it. I had one plant not do it and one do, same seeds both looked healthy. I could be fucking up in my nutrient profile but they still do ok, this looks a lot like my plants. I also find the growth closer to the light is more red vs the older stuff. it can get so saturated it turns more purple/red. I also made a question about it. growdiaries.com/grow-questions/69162-look-at-this-pigmentation If the plant is not showing any other signs of P deficiency like leaf death, then I'd leave it as is. https://420life.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marijuana-Leaf-Deficiency-Chart-scaled.jpg Good Luck!

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.
