My plant is getting onto 2months old, however some of the Stems going to the fan leafs are a weird purply red colour, also some of the older fan leafs are becoming crumbly.
any advise?

Some people seem to think the different colorations on stems are from drastic temperature changes, such as getting too cold at night. I have seen it happen where temperatures are fairly constant, and when they change by 20 degrees or more from lights on and lights off. Some strains just produce the different colorations also. Usually about 1/3 of my plants have this purple coloring in the stems and they are all together, so in my thoughts, the temps may or may not play a role. Either way, it's never been a worry to me and has no effect, good or bad on the end product.

2 months old you say ? I'm taking it that you are 1 month into flowering ? I think the red purple stems connected to fan leaves are normal during this stage in flowering. It's the fan leaves spending all it's stored energy to your buds. I wouldn't worry about it if you are 1 month into flowering. Soon you will be able to pluck those dying fan leaves with stems right off the branches with the greatest ease. (pull them off when you don't see the slightest hint of green on the fan leaves)
