I've been growing outside for a couple years now and have never seen purple stems
I've met the man, his name is Jorge, and he's a very nice person, very genuine and great to talk to. I've actually ended up becoming friends with one of his traveling companions.
If you think his book(s) is/are crap, why don't you write your own? You can call it Bo0m! Like That! :D
I still think his plant shouldn't be yellowing like that at week 4, and I would still give them a small push of nitrogen. I still think the reddened/purpled petioles are an indicator of P not being utilized. Flushing wouldn't help either scenario, would it? I honestly can't tell much of anything about the rest of the plants, even in the second photo, the light's blown out and I can't make out a thing. What I can see looks good, but I can't tell how far up the yellowing goes.
A lot of people think the reddened/purpled petioles are normal. To them I say try this--grow that gal inside with her purple petioles, then try growing her outside in good soil and see what happens. IME, every time, and I mean every time I do that, the girls grown outside lose those purpled petioles. The only exceptions are strains that also have the purple striping on the mains. I'm still trying to work getting rid of that sign indoors. Got it down pretty well outside, inside not so much.
