Help With Red Stems Plz

On a few of my plants I noticed the stems were a dark redish color on the fan leaves towards to the middle of the plants I use promix and tiger bloom n big bloom every 2-3 waters I mix 1 tbsp to each gallon and my pH is usually 6.5-6.8 any info will help thanks

Are you using LED? I'd say that it looks like it, but I can't clearly see the undersides of the petioles. If they are green, and the tops are purple, you are using LED and it's no big deal. If you are under HPS or MH or floros, you may have a deficiency.

Yea I'm using t5s and the plants that have the red stems are growing slow also do u know what it could be

I think the strain Is purple wreck not sure which all plants are like that I'm running wwxbb n ww

Can you post a pic of the tops? The lower/mid section's new growth, looks pretty good.

There may be a slight draw in one of the leafs but I can't really see if from that angle. The draw would indicate a slight deficiency, but they don't really look 'bad'.

The slow growth, is my concern. Can you give more details about your environment as well? RH, temperature and possible high/lows, if you still have the notes?

That is not a problem, if folks only knew the truth, the more of those you see, the better the smoke, red streaks on the actual stem show up,,,,,even better smoke

have a nice day

Looks more like genetics than a tox or def, and isn't an issue, as RM3 has indicated. Some people refer to them as nutrient or flavor highways, but I can't say whether or not that's accurate, because I have no idea.

Stressing the plant can increase brix, in lots of cultivars.

But I would love to know what secrets you may hold. Either public or privately.

Thanks.

Take note, I've been growin & breedin for a lot of years

RM3 is probably at the forefront of unconventional cultivation. He has a few books out. I wouldn't start a pissing match with him.

Whoa, whoa... In no way did I (intentionally) mean it in that way. I truly want to know the secrets or the biology. I am a scientist.

My sincere apologies

Maybe I misinterpreted you. It's early, so I apologize.

My 'personal' skills aren't quite what they should be. I assure you, it's not your fault. No apologies necessary, but, thank you none the less.

rm3 I seen some of the buds u grow on here and they look awesome and they are so frosty its crazy

Well I am veggin them in a 4x4 tent but its in a room that's like 9ft by 12 and iI also have a few flowering on a table I made with my light in the middle and the temp is usually about 70 high 77 but at night I gotta close tent cuz of my ones in flower and I don't have a inline fan running I just have a fan blow air out a side so maybe a heat issue idk
