    Purple stems

    Okay, my plant is in early flowering and it is starting to get purple stems leading to the fan leaves I wanted to know is this some kind of deficiency or overage of something or is it normal?

    same thing here. my plants started showing purple stems only on the fan leaves, going into flowering, but i haven't been able to find out what caused it. it could be a deficiency of something, or it could just be the genetic make-up of the plant. i would say don't worry to much about it, but if you have pictures, maybe it could show something else.

    Well if it was a def. then the lower leaves should start to have grey spots due to the plant starting to eat itself. Are the veins on the leafs past the red stems the same color or are they green still? If it is a def. then the veins will turn red on that plant too. I have a blueberry widow plant some of the older, larger fan leaves will turn red. Just the genetics. Maybe take your p and k up a little bit and see if she likes it. just increase those by 10% and see if she is okay.

    same here. only purple on the stems, nowhere else. stop by my thread a little later, and i'll have detailed pics up with the purple stems in clear view. you should compare yours to mine, and see if its the same or not.

    They look great!. I think the red stems are just the genetics. What is your water (RO or tap) and are you feeding it any calcium and magnesium?
