Red stems
Grey_Wolfanswered grow question 5 years ago
@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

Deficiency or toxicityStems are really purple, leaf stalks and veins also purple. Something is up. Some leaves starting to show burn spots but not many. She's a bit down because she needs a feeding. Is this magnesium deficiency? Should I be upping my nutes at this point this late in veg end of W9?4 years ago
