@SamDo This could be a phenotype genetic trait or a potassium deficiency Is it only happening to the one strain or different ones?
if only one strain I'd sugest genetics if different strains are showing the same thing more than likely it'll be potassium deficiency

Purple StemsHi, Phenos like Sideral do not normally tend to color at the end of flowering (unlike Wedding Cake). However, the stems are already quite purple! I know low temperatures cause stress causing staining, but that much ? UV's and IR's of led light? An excess of something? Thx a Lot �Week 12

Plants stress on first grow, no nutes yet. Barney's Cookies Kush.These badass ladies were planted March 20th. I have not fed them yet (not sure when to start nutes when growing in soil). They are showing some stress. Nutes and bigger pots maybe? My light is a Mars Hydro TS600. General hydroponics trio is my plan.Plant. Stem - Red or purple

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
