its actually because of drastic temp drops at night time, when its like 10-15 degree droppage then the stems turn a purple/maroonish colour, its quite nice cause if you like it, you can not do anything, fully harvest and cure and they'lle either stay purple turn blue or black, my buddy just clipped his shit and its all black stems now, looks nuts

lol since im on this board i seen alot of bullshit , sorry cannabizness but its not the case i guess , if you look closely to the soil you wil see its totaly dry , and because its summer time temps wil not drop 10-15 degrees , weed growing is just simple thinking :)
i had attics way colder and plants dont show any of this.

anyways if this dude want to save his plant from further shit , just give it water

alright, its been a long time since my last post in this forum. But i noticed you have nobody helping you.

Purple in your stems is usually caused by a phosphorus deficiency. Which if your PH is not correct you will have what is called Nutrient Lockout.
You will see a stunt in growth, as well as some necrosis after about a month of this.

The reason you see it from the bottom first is because problems tend to work from the bottom up on plants.... I have rarely had anything happen to my plants starting with the top and it had nothing to do with nutrient.

i never even looked at the man's soil, too high i guess
word man thanks for informing me of that my buddy who wasnt the one who harvested the black stems either, who is generally knowledgable about shit told me that in 100% confidence, but fuck him i guess, it seemed logical for them to turn purple from temp drop in my mind but now i know, i thought it was not detrimental to the quality of your bud but im gonna have a good laugh at my other friend whos sittin there with black stems, after hearing that, that cannot be good at all.

Thanks everyone! I gave her some distilled water, small amount of nutes and coffee ground to take ph down. She seems to be looking better already and even growing larger!
