Might indicate some kind of stress or nute deficiency, might be because of low night time temperature or might just be genetic.

Got any pics and any details about temps, nutes etc?

williemcgraw88 · 10-28-2010, 11:02 AM

i got it under a 400watt hpt its about 4feet high no pics and my camera on my phone is a peice of dog doo lol.. but yea its got about eight colas, the fert i used is miracle gro for housplant in veg it is 8-7-6 and miracle gro bloom booster now umm it is 15-30-15 but so far ive only used the bloom booster once so far and i use a spray-n- grow microbutrient everyday once a day

ohh this is only happening at the top also about a foot from the top down the rest of the plant has mostly green stems a few of the older ones at the bottom are slightly the same color but not many

This would indicate that the new growth is affected the most. Maybe she's a little low on phosphorus since she started flowering. Are the purple stems in the areas that get the most light?

TBH my advice (and it is only a guess without pictures) would be to carry on as you are and not worry about the purple. Miracle gro is fairly harsh stuff and if you try increasing the dosage you may nute burn the plant. Chances are the main reason is that temps have gone down a bit recently (I'm assuming you're in the northern hemisphere.
Keep an eye out for other signs though (like yellowing leaves for example).

yea the purple stems are in the place that gets the most light and it is getting colder at night im gonna get a non light producing space heater and see if that helps also i water down the miracle gro in half like if it say use one tbl spoon to one gal i use one tbl to 2gal and is my spraying the micronutrient spray n gro ok to do everyday like i am

williemcgraw88 · 10-28-2010, 11:23 AM

and no yellow leaves the fan leaves are a dark green and the bud leaves are a slightly lighter green but all in all she looks really healthy except for the purp stems

farmergiles · 10-28-2010, 11:27 AM

Yeah as long as the leaves are not getting burnt it's fine.

You might not need to spray them everyday, the plant won't need loads of micronutes.

williemcgraw88 · 10-28-2010, 11:35 AM

ok im gonna try everyother day then and im gonna go get a space heater today and also will try to get some pics up

farmergiles · 10-28-2010, 11:40 AM

Don't worry about the cold too much, as long as it doesn't drop below 50F it's not too bad.

Sometimes purple is good.

williemcgraw88 · 10-28-2010, 11:55 AM

but over all my first grow is going good i bought a fem ww seeds from amsterdam and i cloned my mother nine times and i had two seeds from two diff types of dank so i planted them too,, got one ww and one ? in the flowering room and ten in veg. the ww is the mother of the clones and the ? was pissing me off so i just threw it in their about a week ago and i think its female but not posotive i think i need a few more days to be sure but the ww is looking good the buds are about quarter size at the top

her leaves were purple for awhile, but what you see that's purple in the pics, stayed purple, now that she's harvested and drying, they're not purple anymore. she was a beautiful plant. gorgeous.

williemcgraw88 · 10-28-2010, 04:08 PM
