Is the "red" at the base of the stem, or on the top? soil or hydro? It sounds like Magnesium def. to me, could be nute lockout from unbalanced Ph, I would try watering it with 2 tsp. of epsom salts added to 1 gal. of water (don't use the whole gallon, that's just the mixture) but before you do all that look here: Overgrow-Plant Trouble

soil...the red originates from the point theorigin of one particular leaf set...it stretches from the leaf down toward the main stem...2 inches on one stem, 1 inch on two other stems. All three stems originate from the same point just below what will be a top cola. The red in the stem does not extend into any leaf matter...just the stem.

not ph...should I increase fertilizer..? one of my liquid ferts has mag...lights out now considering foliar feeding at point of attack...whats the house opinion guys

[marimbas]

it might be normal, it may look like purple too, the steams that hold the leafs, are sometimes colored. dont worry... try to post a picture

i'v seen no problem with the rednesses. all plants with the coloring are healthy and maybe even stronger than the others,with more flowers from more nodes! if u ever lose a plant like ur saying i'd be surprised. 1 thing different is it might grow up higher faster than the others so raise it closer to your light until its levelled out with your others. thats all they needed. they'l make more yield,,,you'l see. don't prune the tops of them ones, u don't have to! and it is more likely more on the indica type,,,a little wider leaves has what u'v got.

Red stems can be a result of over fertalization also. Have any of the leaves begun to curl over at all?
