Red on branches

I read about it, it can be good or bad.. what do you think? I am now trying to solve the PH problem, but nothing urgent. The question I don't want to read is "control your PH" I'm asking about the red color on the branches.

Can be genetic, can be phosphorous related, either not enough or too much......... I have had this a few times in the past and I do not think it affects the plant greatly.............generally genetic related, often in Sativa dominant strains. I would not be too worried.

A lot of people make a big deal about stem coloration. Alone it's largely meaningless. If coupled with other issues it MIGHT help point you in the right direction regarding deficiency. Looking at the condition of your plant, I wouldn't stress it.

When it is in the stem it can be a S-deficiency or "overall nutrient deficiency." It could also just be genetics. I'd expect the petioles to turn purple too if this is the case. when leaf stems only turn puprle at top, that's when i lean toward "odd LED phenomenom" that nobody has ever reversed course that i've seen -- but this doesn't account for the red stems. I've had one go a fairly dark puprle, but the leaves were healthy and happy and the plant produced, so all was well in my book. chalked it up to genetics. Cross reference what you can to eliminate possbillities. e.g. i don't see any other coinciding symptoms for S. if in soilless or hydro it'll be much easier to determine if you are high or low on the concentration scale. ratio of nutes is another issue, but again.. plant looks relatively healthy.

Do you run High intensity LED's ? Ran into the same thing thinking it was a Phosphorus Defi. Might be just some defense thing from the plant itself. Didnt see any negative effect of that so far.
