Why do I always see Red?

Also they seem healthy otherwise and if i use straight water for a week or so i notice it lighten up.

Look at this chart for causes and remedies for red stems.

http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/tables.html

Yes that chart is the chart I have been refering too in this thread.

red Stems

N P K and maybe Mg

Also that Plant leaf chart from a good book that has been posted latly. Has a leaf with red stems saying P and K

I am going to repot and add more fertz... Or maybe just more fertz for another week or so,, I doubt they have outgrown those pots yet but maybe. I dont see any roots out the bottom yet.

hopefully I can fix my babys.....

my grow shop said in Toronto I don't really have to worrie about that but I don't know. Praying leafs and such I have seen on my plants previous to this grow. But not so much this time around. Than again this whole grow I have used some Epson salt in all water...

I live ina aprtment with old taps and pipes. my water is Hard as fuk... like my face drys right out after a shower. Espically if i just shaved.

Im not sure if this will have an effect or not...

My water is from a well, and has lots of iron in it, I am sure I am locking stuff out! I'm going to water them with distilled or rainwater next time with a slight feeding....I saw my def may be the other m that isn't Mg...said to be wary of it from lots of iron.....that's probably me..(saw in on growfaq's but can't remember which link)..not to mention the peat that probably didn't help at all. My praying leaves as much as I can determine were from being TOO close to the light....Moved them, hoping they will relax.

Did you notice the grofaqs said to make your water 6.0 so the plant can take up it nutes? Are you going to try it? S

Hmmm... per that chart it doesn't seem to be a mg issue, so i guess it could be locking out one if not all the npk, don't want it to seem like im stealing a thread or any thing i may have got a problem spotted by someone and hopefully corrected,

If it were a Mg issue there would be other earlier signs. The first one is the pale patches between the veins.

Here this is the link I was referring to http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/675.htm

yeah that is a cool guide.

I get to about 7 I think before I stop... hahahahahah

Mainly the P Def seems like me. Ill fix that...

great thread everyone.... lots of input
