purple stems

What causes purple stems besides genetics in some?

Low PH..........

Mainly cold night temps

not enough calcium and magnesium

low ph will only lock out nutes and cold nights will turn your buds purple but if your in veg stage and you have purple and unless its genetics then you have a def

i forgot to mention Im in veg.

Also if your leaves look claw like then its most likely a potassium issue.

ya especially in veg then you wanna get a supplement, i use general organics calmag+ because i have used them all and find that this works the best.. if your in dirt don't bother with most other calmags cause i have tried most of them and this one seems to work the best

just a little advice too.... if you have purple stems in veg don't flower until you get it cleared up or you will run into def's QUICK in flowering then you'll be wondering wtf happened. Keep using calmag the whole life of the plant. I have used most foods over the course of my 11 years and havent fount a single one the puts close to nearly enough calmag in their food

I use the general organics line as well and like max said its probably one of the better and cleanest supplements on the market, at least I have found that they are and I have went threw so many different brands until I started using the general organics line.

Thanks. Im in promix with roots organic nutes. I have some general organics calmag ill start to use and see if that helps. Its wierd tho because its only one plant out of 8 clones. I think its also startin to get rootbound

Also General Organics/ General Hydro also make an ancient Alaskan forest hummus that's also a good addition to your pro mix soil along with the sub- culture b and sub- culture m which are another great additive to your soil or even into your watering, I use it and it makes my soil so healthy that I actually have little tiny plants that start growing on the top of my soil and I have soil mites now and found out they are one the most benefical life forms to plants that we can have on our planet and they started coming in once I used mixed my own soil and put the forest hummus and sub culture into my soil.

Not enough, or too much?

Having the same issue.

Hmm well cold nights will also lock out phosphorus and give you purple and woody stems
