Purpleish stripe on top of leaf stems. Need Help.

AttackPanda · Dec 23, 2019

Hello everyone, this is my first grow so I am a bit inexperienced, so I do not know if this is normal or not, so sorry if it is, but I have recently read that this is a bad thing but these plants have been like this since they were small, does that mean they a nute deficient? I don't want to burn them. Also please tell me if you notice anything else. the last 3 pictures are close up of the plants from the left-most plant being the first picture and the middle one being the second picture and the last picture being he plant to the right of the first picture. Now the plant to the right doesn't have this issue, but they are all the same strain and in the same soil which worries me. On the same schedule too. What should I do?

It's the lights...the led will turn stems purple on top side of leaf stems...

The only time I get purplish matter is when I over stress.

Also can be indicating its too cold
Can be nutrition
Can be the strain itself.
I don't do ,, l.e.d

She looks like she's grow ing much faster then her usuals

Are you sure? I am reading that it is magnesium deficiency when I google it, or genetics, but nothing about LEDS doing that, do you have a source for that?

Ok would you say magnesium deficiency then if it's a nute problem? So I should just put a little Epsom salt in with the water or? I just don't want to burn it, especially if it's genetics, I've just never grown this strain before or seen it grown, but it is called purple bull rider so that might be where it got its name or something lol.

6 yrs of growing with led.is all info I have..all my older leaves in direct light do it every time...you may have issues tho.. it doesn't look like you do

I’ve had purple petioles and striped stalks on a few. They say cold can cause it, some strains are genetically predisposed to it, have a grape smelling one in the jar now, and it can be magnesium, a dash of epsom in a gallon will improve that symptom. Otherwise its wait and see.

Looks fine, I wouldn't worry. Sometimes purple stems can be a problem when they are from an infection but that doesn't look like your pictures. I think the purple you have, if its not genetics or temp related, will probably fade to green as those parts of the plant get older. I usually see a little purple on the more immature parts of my plants but it goes away with time.

I ...would leave it be for a week.
Leaves look great except the stretch.
LEDs produces different than conventional -. Plants tend to mature faster but need intensity to catch up hormonally.

This is a color spectrum issue; causing hormone imbalance.

And my source is my own experience.

Led optimism = 80-86f under canopy , humidity level 55-65% ( get your vpd in 1-1.5)
LED’s require 25% more intake of base nutrition + micros , add more c02 intake 1000-1500ppm , every week in flower go from 1000ppm and add 500 every 3 days ( so it’s 1000ppm every weeks ) & then you can get there no problem, easy and stop 1-2 weeks before flower or reduce co2 ( propane burner :pro = convert to humidity, super cheap , con = heat & bottles can be hazard if keeping inside)

if you don’t adapt ( try a increase On the nutes level and see if it helps, if it doesn’t in time or does negative effects , decrease. That makes of these nute companies make base dosages ) , you will have fucked plants or at least once you see good environment you won’t ever go back to bad environment or not trying on certain things . Environment is 30%+, genetics is 30% of the battle and nutes is such a smaller scale of % prolly like 10% so people always overthink that aspect and need to focus on other things that are stressing the plants.
