Plants look good from what I could see. What are your temps? It might be getting a bit cold which causes coloring in the stems.
Could also be a nute imbalance, is that nute burn on your leave tips?
If it's burn then lower your nutes a bit, if it's cold heat it up. Either way, the plants look good and I wouldn't worry too much about the stem color.

Temps stay between 70-72 during dark phase and 82-84 when the lights are on. That's the only leaf with a dark tip. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't any nutrient lockouts or deficiencies

I'm using soil and I add 4 ml ca/ma with each feeding. It may be low on N because I haven't been giving it much since I've switched it to flower.

If your leaves are healthy, the purple/red is meaningless.

Ah well that is it. First 10 days of flower they use a lot of N (stretch)an bloom nutes don't have enough. And listen purple streaks are an issue regardless of what people think, because it's an indicator..

Wrong. I got all purples and they don't do that but stretchy azz strains do. Solid purple leaf stems, yes. Vertical stalk stripes I think not. Thanks for your comments though.

In the absence of any OTHER symptoms, it really doesn't mean much because it means EVERYTHING. It's like a doctor taking your Sed Rate with no other symptoms. As a singular diagnostic it's virtually worthless because literally ANYTHING will elevate your Sed Rate. Or it might be elevated for no particular reason at all.

Npk ratio is 16-16.8-21.02. Should I add Bud Candy for more PK?

if you're more than two weeks into flower I would back off the growth nutes, and move to a bloom nute.

Forget everything you've read, or anything anyone told you about red or purple stems, and leave it alone. No cause for alarm for even a moment. Just phenotype

So I took your advice. I'm removing the Vegan Booster and the floricious blend which was both high in N and I'm adding Rock Resinator Heavier Yeilds it's NPK ratio is 0-7-8. I will be adding it at 3ml p/gallon
