if anyone has any idea what this could be from let me know. i can provide more pictures.
my temps are 55-67F humidity at an obnoxiously low 10-25%.
i've never seen anything like this, and i've looked for answers and couldn't find any. if anyone needs more details about my grow, i'll throw them all at you.

it was suggested by a friend that it could be from deposits building up in my res water (i do use tap, so it's very possible).

what is exactly your growing experience..?
i've grown in soil once before, then i was gonna do soil this run, then decided it'd take too long, and ended up doing hydro/DWC.
last grow i used FFOF amended with gypsum, and i used bigbloom/growbig/tigerbloom for my nutes.
to get this all out of the way;
this grow i'm using tap water, with jacks321 5-12-26 cal nit 15.5-0-0 and some random brand epsom salt i found at the store that's 100% mag sulfate.
for this plant i'm dosing the jacks 321 @ 6g, cal nit @ 4g, epsom @ 2g, also using 2 and a half tsp of hydroguard.

looks good to me fam, edit: maybe the purple veins could be attended to but tops looks fine
purple viens are 1000% genetics. strain's connected to a load of purple phenos. strain's called "purple frosting". if you'd like the lineup i'll give it to ya.

they look fine now. i just got worried because i've never once seen my plants grow like that. i guess there's a first for everything.

The tops are fine.

The purple veins may be genetic but that's not always the case. There are issues that can cause purple veins.

What strain is that and have you grown it before to know for sure it's genetics?

Edit. They could use a bit of mag. Use some Cal/mag or Epsom salt.

cal/mag = my cal nit/epsom salt. i'll add about a gram or two more next res change
the strains called purple frosting.
it's a cross between the following
(purple punch x choc frosting)
choc frosting = (norcal do-si-dos x mint choc chip)
i've asked ALOT of questions to a guy that grows this strain recreationally, he's said that purple stems are completely genetics, but now i'm kind of paranoid that you bring it up.
what could be a problem that'd cause purple stems?

pointing up means that either its hot or they are happy or boarder line over fert

just run a fresh water feed then go back to your normal feeds mate i would say they are fine
wdym fresh water feed? is that the same as changing the reservoir? if so i've already done that 4-5 hours ago, i recon that the plants started to droop back down like normal once it was changed about 1 hour in they started to come down.
this almost confirms my friend's theory of deposits building up; again, it's tap water i'm using, straight from my bath tub, so this i feel like is very likely.

Don't worry about the purple then. If it's genetics know for it then no problem.

The reason for mag is I can see a very slight yellowing between leaf veins. If you can up the mag a bit and not the Cal then do that. You could also foilar some Epsom.

They look happy for the most part. I just noticed they could use a bit more mag.

Carry on.
