What is pink/purple stems a sign of? All of a sudden

[gardro]

Hi

These are at 5 weeks into flower, grown in soil, fed canna terra flores.

Last couple of feeds have been at 31ml per 5 litres ( as per canna chart ) I always allow some of the liquid to run off and collect in trays beneath

Any ideas?




Thanks for looking

Likely a mixture of a few things.....

1: I am guessing temps are low at night, this tends to bring out the purps....
2: Likely a purple strain....
3: Also too much nitrogen will bring out purples, but along with other issues... I dont see much for clawing, but she is a bit dark for this stage of flower.

I would likely go with number 1 and 2..... shit if i had a plant go purple like that I would be stoked should be a great looking flower!!

Thanks buddy, Im pretty sure the temps stay over 19C at night. Ive had purple before when they were young and that was defo when I had no heater in there. This is more red / pink. The flower nutes should be lower in nitrogen so not sure what to do?

Veins too

even the upper leaves seem to be turning purple in the picture,
you sure it isn't genetic gardro?

barring that, the new feeding schedule is probably a factor
they look very healthy so am unsure it's locked out nutrients

I will concur with Skunky's suggestions. usually cold temps will turn stems purple, starting with the fan leaves.

edit: upon close inspection of added photo, I'm going to go with a purple strain

I agree this looks like strain genetics. Check out TTs last grow his skunk turned purple too

Thanks monster, they do have a bit of leaf tip droop but nothing too major. I guess the 6ml per litre is pretty hot. Some of the canopy foliage is lightening which tells me there are a little hungry but then other parts are dark and waxy which is like over fed?

ya shes just a tad over fed.... if your feeding 6 ml per liter id go to 4 ml for a bit see if they loose that lil curl... no burn tho so ur close!
