Thanks.. the plant was underwatered when i took that picture. Just gave her some more today since it had been a few days since her last. I'd say the temps probably get 68 at the coldest. Is that too cold?

When I put a tall boy (ro) in I got purple stems. I've tried to fix the issue but have not. Yours might be genetics but I've got 4 diff strains and all have purple stems. My temps are 78 and 67. Same plants at home using city water the purple goes away. My tall boy strips out something I'm not able to figure out what to supplement with.

distilled does the same thing, fix is a good nutrient with plenty of cal/mag or a cal mag sub

No, it's most likely genetics
Genetics have the original and cornbread og which is katsu cross it's a genetics thing bubba kush does it as she will go completely purp as well
Genetics might be the purple stems but what about the lowest leaf with the edges of the leaf lifted in the picture, could it be heat stress? What about the large ridges between the veins on the top leaves, that kind of reminds me of heat stress too.

Looks more like PH is off a tad

Move it closer to the light, it looks overfed. If you feed heavy, you gotta have the lumens to go with it.

It's not heat. Im usuing fluorescent bulbs. Haven't been feeding. There just in fox farm soil. And ph should be good as long as the general hydro green liquid ph checker is accurate

Got ya. Maybe is has been to high? I ph the water until it's a greenish yellow. Maybe I'll bring it down to a solid yellow

I have found that unless your using high quality, medical grade pH test "strips" . They (G&H and others) just aren't accurate enough for me! Some guys love the things....I won't use them and haven't in years!

Something like these. They are quality strips!

Read the page too!

They bring up some of the variables in reading test strips!

I just suggested this in another thread for someone looking for a real good cheap one.

This is, without a doubt, the best low cost pH pen I have used! EVER!
