What does the purple in the stem and branches mean ? New to Farming

was just curious if its the strain that causes this or just part of the plants nature Thx for info

purpling occurs when temperatures drop; the plant's cold.

plant should not be cold around high 80' s at night and high 90's - 100's during day . Its a outside plant . Could that change in temp cause this and is it normal ? Thx for help

It's a phosphorous deficiency but it is pretty normal to have. Some strains have it no matter what. If you are using the proper nutrients, the veg nute will be high in nitrogen and lower in phos so this deficiency happens. It should go away when you switch to bloom nutes. Don't worry about it.

I really dont use any Nute . Im new at this and all i read on this site is conflicting info . So i dont want to harm them with the nutes . I really didnt plan on adding anything , but im sure im gonna have to at some point , not sure tho . As it was grown in nature chem free. I was thinking of adding some Superthrive tho . Any info on a nute ect. is helpful

You won't be very happy with your buds with no nutes. It's okay outside when the plant is actually planted in the ground and the roots can explore as far as they want for nutrients. Even then, you will get a better end result by giving the plant some help. That's all you're doing. Encouraging it to grow. Your best bet is Fox Farms brand nutrients. There's many others that are good but they are the most proven. Don't use miracle gro. But superthrive is good. Whatever $ you spend on this stuff will be paid back to you by bigger, better quality buds.

Thx for all the info Mared , can i get Fox Farm at Super Wal MArts ? Or i need to find a nursery ? Thx again ... Also will Superthrive take the Nutes place or can i use both .. ?

Fox Farms would be only available from the internet or a hydroponics store. If you don't want to do that, you can go to a nursery and look for nutrients like the two big bottles on the left in the pic below. This is not my picture because I don't use soil but this is from a thread by fdd2blk, a staff member and VERY respected grower on this site. Just look at his results. https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/24703-its-all-bullsh-t.html

And superthrive is good to start off seedlings and then in addition to something else.
