Purple veins on stem???

Well, the way it was explained to me, (and this guy's garden (the one who told me) is amazing - to put it lightly) was that: At The point where the stems turn purple, they are actually not benefitting the plant anymore (actually sucking more light and nutes away from buds) and wasting it on the leaves. some might disagree, i had always thought that the fan leaves "fed/supplied" the plant, but he told me that they take away from the plant _or what you want it to be doing for you, once the stems turn purple, they pick off easier, maybe thats why??? All i know is if someone is successful, never do what they say, rather do what they Do.

if your growing outdoors than its prob cause of the cold weather

that can cause it indoors too,if the grow room temps drop low enough after the lamps go off,usually below 60fh,and it will slow the growth also....bonbon

I grow indoor's and the temp go's down to about 68Fh at it's coldest point when the light's r off ???

Thanks guys. :)

PEACE TO ALL!

i have no clue what would be causeing the purple than. like torog said go to www.overgrow.com and ak over there. if ucan send a pm to mynamestitch and ask him and tell him i sent u(CbudmanT) he'll know whats wrong

a friend thats been growin for 15 years told me purple in your stems is usely a nitogen deficiency ,"pot plants are nitogen hogs" so a stole a glass full of pure nitogen my dad uses for his corn field,havnt had a problem sence.jus make sure you dont over do it or get it directly on the plant ,i usely put a 20 oz pop bottle cap full or more on top the soil 2 or 3 inches from the stalk every 3 or 4 weeks or when the plant looks light green ,in a day or 2 its nice and dark green :D oh yeah nitogen needs water to work, the sun drys it out n it evaporates if you use it and it dont rain .

Nitrogen hogs eh...see...things you just dont know unless you educate yourself...thanks Syko!.
ill remember to sparingly use nitrogen when the veg state gets in gear,
