there really isn't much info for us to go one here. but i would think since you gave a light dose of flora grow you need to up it a little. red stems is a sign of K(potassium deficiency). when you say leaves are curling do you mean like clawing(folding in a curling doward) or just rolling under ?

Most heavy discolor stems are in-result of stress to the plant... temps / PH / EC
Usually if not corrected can lead to a complete shock of the plants (2+ weeks to recover in some cases). Odds are the stems with fan leaves will start to get dryer than the others, and will be higher risk for PM and other diseases.

Yup. Stress. I usually see it in moms when people get lazy with a nute regimen because they've got a room full of beautiful blooming plants and lose track of they're moms. I also see it in pre vegging plants. Check your nutes. Are you feeding the recommended dosages?

Red stems, or PETIOLES? If it's the petioles (the stem that attaches the leaf to its branch) then that's often linked to a potassium uptake issue, which I personally have found is also directly related to two other factors--pH and light intensity (more seems to disallow reddening of the petioles).

If the leaves are dark green and curled under, you're pushing the nitrogen a wee bit high. I would expect this with Floranova IF you've been using it at recommended rates, which are astronomical to my eyes seeing as how I normally use (Bloom, not grow) at 3-5mls/gallon. If you're doing the reco'd 10-15mls/gallon (IIRC? do I recall that rate correctly?), oh my goodness, back it off.

The stems/petioles didn't turn red immediately after you fed the FNGrow, did they?

Is there a need to use the Epsom salts at this time? Are you seeing other things that lead you to believe a magnesium deficiency or imbalance has occurred? I would like to advise you to use the Epsom salts as a foliar only at this point. 1/4-1tsp/gallon would probably do, assuming it's needed.

Like others have mentioned and you know, a picture = 1K words.
