Put 9 wedding cake clones in at the weekend and after topping 2 days ago I’ve noticed my stems are starting to go purple and leaf stems too. They are now under a lumatek zues 600wpro on 25% and a lumatek 300w pro on 25%, they were previously under a cfl so my first thought was mag deficiency but ive dosed calmag and in using tap water?? Any ideas?
Purple stems after transplant.

Between the purple stalks and the leafs hooked down just a little I'd say they are a little overwatered. It doesn't look to serious to me. Don't just take my word on it. It just looks like that.
I think it will be OK in a day or two.
Hopefully mate, those big leds may have shocked them a little even on 25%

looks overfed to me - burnt tips, dark foliage. red stems could be from ec stress as well.
Hi mate, ec is quite strong, 1.2ec , im using athena and was told to go straight in on their heavy schedule which calls for 1.6 ec first week of veg but i went with 1.4 and have since diluted to 1.2 , hopefully they Will be ok with it as they get bigger

manufacturer schedules are generally going to have inflated feed recommendations. best to start with lower EC and watch how the plants respond.
