What do I make of the stem's red striation for an inch above the flowering sites?

How about some coffee grounds on top of the soil for some N boost? Say... 1tsp or 1 tbsp? Next watering tomorrow makes 4 days dry and starting to really get drained out. N from coffee plus the bloom nutes sounds like what you guys are calling for if I hear right? 6.8-6.7 pH would go down but not too much.
Or should I stop before doing something obviously insane?

Coffee grounds are acidic. It might not be your best choice. Some salts based "grow" nutes should provide readily available nitrogen.

Any idea what your soil pH is? Plant doesn't look horrible ... just way off color.

Went from 6.7 to 6.5 same test site with a bare water and a couple dry out days. Maybe 6.6 but it was slightly more pea green than st patricks green in test color movement. I would like to add N without buying yet another thing, I can handle moderate chemistry and there is a lot of random things around. I mean REALLY random.

There is one thing you have around ... I've never used it and I understand why you might pass on the suggestion as well ... it's just EWE when you think about it .... but here it goes ... PEE is high in nitrogen.

Today's update... red striation lines still about an inch to inch and a half running up from flowers. After a nice dry out tent clean, hand turning of the top of the soil, nutes and rotation for the sprout, Edith (op subject plant) got about a tbsp of separated urine spun out in a centrifuge and titrated so it's just the middle of the tube content, then charcoal filtered. That has to be the clean nitrogen... added to Budcharge by it's mix chart as water. Water and feed went evenly over all the soil. Light as mentioned was moved down.
What probably a couple days before any evidence of change? I'd say 48 hours?

Yeah the change so far is that red retreated a little, and all the non-sugar leaves began to fade. Light tan in the 'chromes like weak tea. And I got a tad of height and more solid bud smell but only like start and stop of the light cycle I think. Testing ratio went from like 1-3-2 to 2-3-1.7 so whatever else I got N and maybe calc if the retreating red is a sign?

Now the red is a pink but I think that's tattoo'ed into the tissue more than screaming for nutes. Fan leaves continue to go lighter green, 'chromes are about the same tea globes on white stalks, a little purpling on the sugar leaves.

It got a couple inches taller.1.1oz after dry, cure, and trim. Idk what the content is, I think it was 27.8 av testing percentage in the description. To me, a wallop of an indica whatever it is.
Seed #2 from this batch is WAY faster growing, and #3 and #4 went in yesterday for a tent population limit of 3. But with bone meal, training supports, rotation, a uniform soil/pearlite/wormcastings mix and a much lower light, we are seeing much much better so far.
