well with as little information as you provided i cant say anything really other then it looks like a healthy starter a week from breaking ground isnt bad at all considering the fact that root growth is more active during that time then vegetative growth is
I just expected it to be a bit faster than what it is. considering the humic acids that are in the mix. Im sure your right, its working on spreading out the roots and hopefully will take off soon.
from personal experience thats what it seems like roots will flourish if in a healthy environment way before the vegetative growth. on another note whats your PH at?
and the purple wouldnt be a P def it would be manganese or magnesium def cant remember wich one it is dont treat for ether tho until you know because treating for one of thos makes the other worse
i would personally wait to see what happens if it continues to show purple stems throughout the first month of veg growth id check into it other then that just let it grow imho
just for the shits an giggles heres a link http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/1243.htm like i said it can be caused by genetics (rarely though) other then that its a def even in seedlings it is a sign you just need to learn to read your plants
as i stated earlier its best to wait and see what happens further into veg at the moment throwing things at it left and right trying to fix a problem that might not even be a problem is a bad idea imho
That's the slowest part for me in hydro. It didn't used to be,I don't know what I've forgotten.
I've got 1 not quiet that big 'bout a month old it just started taking off, now purple stem is gone & it's growing good.
Last time same way ended up producing the most I've had.

np man subbed up to see how she does (hope she is a she ) if you have any further questions feel free to ask. What i dont know my good friends on RIU do
the soil was a tab on the dry side so I did give it some water but there is soooo much drainage its impossible for me to overwater in this medium. That could be the cause of the purple. o-well time will tell soon enough.
