Purple stems and droopy leaves! HELP!

So these plants were 3 days into flower and I decided to switch them back to veg because I want them to get a little bigger before I flower again. Strain is called jealousy. They have had red stems since 3rd week in first veg cycle before I flowered. Currently it’s at 5 days after I reveged them and they seem to get more droopy everyday. I just did some research and added some more calmag to the feeding. I tried feeding more and also tried letting it dry out. Using fox farm neuts for veg at the moment. Grown on sunshine mix #4 in 2 gal fabric pots. Par is at 500-600 using LED. Temperature is around 75-82 with lights on and 65-70 when lights are off. Humidity it’s around 60-75. Any one experienced similar problem?

Calibrate ph meter and make sure ph of medium is good,

same goes for ec/ppm, just use distilled water if no cal solution imo

unless known trait of strain purple stems is not good and for me, always caused by bad ph locking out something/s

Feed to a good runoff. Your basically growing just like coco only ph needs a little higher and they don’t dry as fast. So don’t let them dry back too much don’t let runoff suck back up. This should fix your issues.

If their noticeably lighter after one day that’s a good sign. You can feed again just keep EC 1-1,5. Or maybe every two days feed. Peat holds a lot more water then coco so you have to find the sweet spot.

Magnesium deficiency is definitely one of the issues...

Thank you guys for your input! So far looking better today! Slapped in a heater and watered it until there was runoff. Think that soldved the problem. As for the purple goes I guess I just gotta give it some more time. Or possibly genetics

I use to always grow hydro. Never saw a purple stem. Some streaks but not much. Wasn’t until I started growing in pots hand watering that I noticed purple more. I’m thinking it’s food or it’s locked out either way feeding to runoff constantly should take care of it.
