purple stems all over???? any suggestion

Those arn't my plants, it was part of a conversation. Cheers guys....

i'm just getting ready to flower like tomarrow. should i not?how exactly do you fix a lock out besides flushing and if this is the only way how do you know when the lock up is gone?? already flushed 1 time do you recommend more?? i have already tried to post pics but i can't cause of file size or something. it all started with the purple stems then i started to get like you said yellowish leaves with browning speckles. now the speckles are gone but leaves seem to be going pale green yellowish. the vegging plant is about 7-8 weeks old( from clone) the highest ppm its seen is 650-700.also just wondering i have a boost formula for the flowering that is 0-5-6 consist of ....5% available phosphate and..6% soluble potash my bloom is 3-2-6 consisting of... 3% total nitorgen= .....0.16% ammoniacal nitrogen.... 2.84% nitrate nitrogen.... 2% available phosphate....6% soluble potash is one of these more likely to get my plant back on the fast track to recovery well that sums it up for now and if you have any more questions about describing my prob please dont hesitate .its hard to get good info and reliable and the plant problem guide doesn't always apply to each persons individual problem and the timeing that it is occuring. those pics don't show step by step the phase the plant goes threw during the prob

thanks again

hey bleezy.. im sorry but you're full of shit. don't get on here and tell this guy that there is no such thing as a healthy cannabis plant with red or purple stems. I have grown them. I have been doing this for several years, and i know for a fact that plants can be perfectly healthy in veg or flower and have colored stems. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. "i take horticulture class's" whatever man.. do you have experience growing every pheno of every strain??? NO YOU DON'T. Colored stems can definitely be a sign of problems, but not always. I know right now because I am growing a strain that does it. temps in my mommy room are always at 80 to 82 degrees. I keep my nutreints at a fairly low level but not low enough to cause any problems. My Headband mommy has purple stems. the others around her don't.

I'm sure that the strain Dannyboy from Subcool/TGA grows with red stems... are you gonna go tell Subcool that he doesn't know how to grow?? Jackass.

Me the jackass, seriously? It looks like you have no clue about, and I could care less about your thoughts. Your brainless fuck might want to start out at HRT101 then get back to me pussy.

The lights are not close enough. But when you transplant just bury it deep and put soil to about 1/2 of an inch below the leaves

is this good enough HerbOnDACurb??... lol Those plants have already produced over 40 cutting and are now flowering at 5ft tall. They are obviously much older now.

your awesome grammar makes you seem really edjucated.

you didn't respond to anything i said douche.. i am going to admit that it is not genetics that is causing the color change in the stem in this thread's question.

but, you really are wrong. there are strains that will grow healthy with colored stems. i am far from brainless, and you are obviously a silly little college kid with an over-inflated image of his own knowledge. you don't know everything about the herb bleezy. you may know some things, you may have a more keen understanding as to the mechanisms that are taking place on a molecular level in your cannabis than the average dumbass on here feeding his plant 7-up while he cooks it under halogen lights. But, like i said before, you don't have experience growing every pheno of every strain. And you obviously don't have more experience than me. you don't need to insult me just because you couldn't respond with anything insightful. maybe you can finish your schooling at the oaksterdam university where i went to learn about the herb.

i was lost on the first page!!!!

i have grown a few plants in my day and know a lot off people who have to.and we have all had eaither red or perple stems on perfectlly healthy plants that turn out great. no leaf discolor. no bad pot when done. and thats from online seeds and bag seed. never any color on the main stem though. but lots of color on fan leaves and shit. so i dont see whats so wrong. i heard it was just from low temps. but doesent hert the plant

I would say I have most often had purple/red stems when growing. They have always been great plants. They've always yielded ridiculous amounts and been healthy plants all the way through flowering.

I wouldn't take advice from anyone who grew those 4 sprouts in the picture. Clearly they don't know what they are doing. I don't care if you use 1200w HID, you shouldn't use 1200w HID on sprouts or seedlings...so I call dumbass. Anyone WASTING 1200w on 4 sprouts first off is a tool. Anyone growing 4 plants under 1200w also a tool. Not an effecient or educated grower so take what you can from it.

If you have yellowing leaves and color changes in your stems, particularly to purple, it's an N defeciency. Did the yellowing start from the bottom of the plant?

Did anyone else think to ask if the yellowing started on the lower leaves? Brown Spots? Ane curling in the leaves?

Here's a thought, any pictures?

Sry you wasted your time. I didnt respond to anything you said because I dont like pussy arguments with some random ass person who all I know has a huge dildo up their ass. Your a instigator and im not playing your immature games. I can keep saying this over and over, 99% of the time red stems are a problem. Not the phenotype. If you asked the original poster for some pics... Like i did, you would realize your a fucking idiot for telling him his plants are normal with red stems. You came here to bash, not to help. Get the fuck out! I learn from experience with all plants. Not just marijuana. no & I dont go to weed growing school.

Did not read all the bullshit drama but my shit started to purple stem and i threw the fan to it and it's starting to come out of it i noticed


p.s. just tryin to help.

Your a tool for having no clue what your talking about.

Right, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Everyone wants to burn up 1200w for 18 or 24 hours so their seedlings can get nicely stretched out and look like shit. That's super effecient.

Anyone who doesn't think some MJ strains produce purple stems is a tool. And outnumbered already. Keep on growing ineffeciently in your little world and acting like you know what you're talking about.

When my plants were a week old they had a deep redish/ purpleish color to the stem and they were pefectly healthy.... it went away when they started to stretch to the light... but now its back within the leafs stem (not the main plant stem) and it apears to be growing fast and loving it

First of all whos growing seedlings under 1200 watts? Second were do I state plants do not have colored stems. ??? Why do I keep on saying the same damn thing. 99% of the time its a problem. Why dont you open your eyes and read before you post idiotic response's?

Who are you to be talking, look at your plants! I cant believe you think you know what your talking about. It appalls me

Your having the same dam problem yourself if you didnt know

This is totally normal, we are talking about the stalk of the plant. Its when it starts changing colors is the problem.

Yup, we all just have to remember, colored stems MAY be normal, but in the presence of other symptoms, it may have to be looked into. If a stem all of a sudden changes from green to red/purple and the laeves are looking funny, yellow, black dots... whatever, then something is wrong. If the stem has always been that color, and the leaves look good, plant is growing fine, then there more than likel;y isnothing wrong with it, just has the genetics for the stem color....

Exactly mannurse.

Do these look like they are fine? Do they look like they have had color stems all the way threw. No way! I know my difference between phenos and the role genetics play. This for sure isnt normal happy growth. I wont give information out unless I know 100% its correct, and most the time experienced by myself.

You guys are funny. These OG Plants were a BITCH to get right. And I can't believe I went home JUST to get new pictures for you tools so I can show you that these plants have been corrected.

The difference between inexperienced growers and experienced growers is the ability to correctly identify problems and rectify them. These look better than the previous pics posted and today they look like the attached photos.

Congrats to you if you can grow the same strain every time and get it right on the nose straight out. I feed aggressively so when I get a new strain it takes a little bit to get them on track. That picture posted above is from this past Sat...it's now Tuesday and they look like the pics below.

I never said plants didn't ever have problems, but I'm pretty good at correcting them. So get off your high horse and stop misstating information. Anyone can grow plants from start to finish nice and slow and get less yield than optimum, it takes experience to identify problems, make corrective actions (when necessary, not arbitrarily) and get things moving forward positively. 99% of the time colored stems mean there's a problem? Show me that information somewhere besides out of your ass. I know it's not through your hours of research or knowledge of horticulture...nope, straight outta your ass.

Here are some pic from earlier today... im starting to get a darker redish stem... hmmmm there are no signs of anything going wrong... ph and ppm levels are fine... the nute levels are good...

i would say that this is a sign of being very very healthy
