NEED HELP WITH HOUSE AND GARDEN

Hey all! Im trying to get dialed in with the aqua flakes from house and garden but cant seem to get a healthy plant. In veg i worked up to 8ml of a and b and 5 ml of calmag with root stim. Plants are pale and have purple lines in the stems. Any help from house and garden users would be greatly appreciated!

Still have not found a solution. The purple streaks all up the stems and whole plant a pale color. I have tried everything. Dropped ph from 6.3 to 6.0, same. Upped ph to 6.5, same. Foilar fed magnesium solfate, added epsom to feed, same. Added more base nutes, same. Added more nitrogen, growth skipped getting darker and just tip burn on pale leaves. Flushed down to 400ppm runoff, same. Lost is an understatement. 8 years of growing and never have something i couldnt eventually fix.

Humidity is low. Around 35%. They veg under a 4 foot t5 fixture with 6 6500 bulbs. Only thing that i have changed over the years is now im in promix hp.
Keep the EC lower in dry conditions. Kelvin value of those lamps is very high for veg. Florescent lamps do wear out and need regular replacement. pH should be lower in veg, like 5.5. keep temps in the upper 70s.

I've been noticing that issue with h&g a lot lately. Check your run off. You might have a little bit of lock out or you're not feeding enough. If it's not that or your temp, I really believe that aqua flakes is lacking P. Look at that npk value and notice phosphorus is extremely low. I don't believe too much phosphates are good but I think they might be lacking just a little bit.

Also like tty said, it could be from light level. When I noticed a similar problem like you're describing I was under a t5 and I was extremely rootbounded in the pots my plants were in.

Im in promix hp. Not hydro. 5.5 ph is to low. How long does a t5 bulb last? 6000-6400 is whats reccommended for vegging...?

What do you mean light level? Like my 5 month old t5 bulbs are already to weak for lush green veg growth?

No not the age of the bulbs but where they light fixture is over the plants. Too high or close to the plants might effect them. You can treat promix like hydro and it's alright to vary your feedings. Promix is consider a soilless medium so you want to follow hydro ph recommendation. I'd stay closer to 6 personally but if your run off is higher then watering with a lower ph solution will lower that for you.

How many times have you ran this plant?

Sometimes new growth will be a lighter green. Those plants don’t look bad enough to get all worked up about...

Purple lines on stems are Genetic...

How long does it take a grower to figure this out?...every single cannabis plant I've ever grown that was worth a damn has had purple lines on stems...
