Purple stems?

What is the cause of this? Is it bad?

nitrogen more nitrogen

I get the same thing. It's on the lower leaves that are starting to yellow and can extend further up if we are talking about the same thing. I will hope you get an answer cause I've wondered too.

Is it ok to add a little more food to her it's a 3-4-6

Could just be genetic, and you are looking kinda burny at the tips. Not really at expert at diagnosing seedlings, but id say u have too much nutes/heat. I basically add no nutes to seedlings that age, however I'll use some rooting suppliments like Mykos and the dark brown juices that come in drops and such.

I've only used some food (nitrogen and just started it yesterday) No burnt tips and they have been like this since they sprung

I wouldn't worry about purple stems at this point then, as long as leaf growth remains healthy. I get purple stems on my older girls sometimes, I beleive it's a pheno trait. If your dirt is already fertilized I wouldn't feed more, otherwise follow manufacturers directions for seedlings and should be fine.

I put a tad more on there since it's pretty forgiving.... Everything looks good

Woah man, that plant is like a week old. Dont give it ANY nutrients yet. Water only for awhile yet.

idk where these people get off giving people bad info. its obvious these asses dnt have a clue what theyre talking about. if u dnt know the answer, dnt comment.

1st of all, u dnt need to give seedlings ANYTHING for the 1st couple weeks, except maybe a little calmag to buffer ph. NO NUTES. purple stems are nothing to worry about at this stage. purple stems could be genetic, and a plant could always have them.

Yea like he said, you really shouldn't be giving a seedling really anything for first couple of weeks. Your seedling had a purple stem because it isn't fully developed yet.

I was just adding that food cause of the nitrogen.... Is sulfer bad for the plants? cause this food has 3%




Like I said, I JUST put one dose of food with them to help bring that nitro level up...Ph is 6.5-6.7 on all plants

Nutes not needed during the early stages, but that is besides point

@ the purple stems, they are hardly ever (if ever ever) a bad sign, most (if not all) of the time it is a sign of genetics of the plant and you can expect the purple tint to show up periodically through the grow (stems/leaves/buds if lucky)
