red stems normal on flowering plants?

I have a plant thats in her 3rd week of flowering and some of the stems are red i had an issue with red/brown spots on my leaves but have somewhat solved that issue just wondering if red stems mean anything

it means it has a phorphorous def. but sometimes its strain related. but yeah if you have the spots too its def. phosphorous def.

or P lock-out. check your ph

alright thanks guys i just gave it a shot of monster bloomon sunday and thats loaded with phosphorus

i cut all the spotted leaves off to see if the problem is spreading to the rest of the plant so i can try and determine 100% what it is these defficiencies arent gunna wreck the outcome of my plant right

Make sure there is N in there or you will lose leaves, also too much P blocks out N.

really ehh ok thats good too know im pretty sure the problems solved she is looking better after last nights lighting cycle

this plant has had at least a couple red stems throughout her whole life so it might be a strain thing it the strain is durban poison

i just want know what strain that is in your avatar? that stuff looks pink. like candy. yummy.

purple kush

great looking plant man. props on that one.

sometimes red/purple stems mean that leaf is acting as a storage sink.. it will really store up the nutrients so the plant can pull them later as needed.

really ehh i did not know that you think that could mean im giving to much nutes if its having to store em or is that just sumthin they do hahah

sorry double posted

something they are just designed to do i guess.. pretty interesting none the less because it can also be signs of a deficiency also. if you are giving too much nutrients your plants will just burn, not store. typically earlier in the pants life is when it is easy to tell they are going to be used as storage rather than a def because typically the deficiency sign of a purple stem would happen some time mid flower when more k or p is used. (can't remember off the top of my head what the purple stem def is).


sorry i mis informed. purple stems are sinks, red stems normally mean the start of a N deficiency... sometimes i have too much info floating around in my head

a n def would make sense since the leaves started turning a bit lighter green last night
