You know the deal... flush and feed!

BTW your other plants look sweet. Very nice!
Thanks for your reply StinkyAttic, I appreciate it,

what I'm a little confused about is that there is virtually no difference (besides human error) between the regimen that the healthy sno-cap and the unhealthy sno-cap get, watered at the same time, same nutrients, etc.

Like I said, we pH all of our water to the low 6's, but we don't pH the soil. The soil mix was 2/3 high-grade Osh soil-mix, 1/3 perlite, and a pinch of dolimitic lime/gallon.

Could the fact that I'm using tap water be causing this??

The healthy plants have purple stems as well, I just assumed it was genetic, but if is the result of a sulfur deficiency or phospho deficiency, how can I determine and correct this?
