Re: red stems??????

What is it that you are growing?

I saw some Rock Bud (AKA Soma A+) in bloom before and the whole plant was red. Looked really cool.

I've seen some leaves turn to reddish/purple from cold weather too. (Just like a regular tree)

its soposed to be the same GDP that i just got done growing, but i didnt have as many red stems on the last batch. i was just woundering if i was doing something wrong is all.

High Ph (over 8.0 or 8.5) can cause that to happen. Are you testing your Ph?

Phosphorus (P) deficiency. Covered it in my journal. Look and c if urs looked like mine. Click the "Follow My Grow (1st journal completed)" link in my signature. Also check this out>Cannabis Plant and Pest Problem Solver - Pictorial. How do ur leaves look around where the stem is red? Check this thread as well>Purple Stems. Good pics and lots of comments.
