Hi all.

I've got some cuttings on the go.
2 weeks old.
Roots out of 1" rockwoll cubes.
Temp and humidity under control.
Feed- Canna veg @ 5mm per 10L
Ph = 5.6

All the steams on all the cuttings have gone purple.
Is this a nute difficency?
Or is it not?

Anyone any ideas?
Would be much appriciated.

Jam.

It's possible that it's a deficiency.

It's possible that it's genetics.

You said that your temps are under control. But just for the record, what are your night temps?

If they have roots, then it may be time to start them on a very, very light feeding. Probably about 1/8 strength or less.

Good luck.

I belive that the canna feed I'm giving them is about 1/4 strength.
I wonder way the stalks are going purple.

Purple isn't really anything to worry about.

If it's a nute def. It will correct itself after the root system develops and is able to uptake more food.

And of course, over the next few weeks you will be slowly increasing your nutes to full strength as well.

I'd say that unless something more serious happens that you'll be in the clear.

Good luck.

purple sometimes means they are getting cold at night but you say 24/7 for your lights how close are the lights to them? And what strain sometimes they are purple my last grow had purple running threw all stalks and leaves no issue at all with anything came out nice adn with purple in the buds. (pics on profile)
