Purple petioles. P too low?

This is pretty consistent with my grows across varying nutrients, strains and temperatures.

I have had it with all these ratios.

5-2-6 heavy16
3-1-5 ionic
9-3-6 dynagro

This recent grow I put a huge emphasis on temperature keeping lights off warm.

It never moves to the stalk, just the petioles.

Plants appear healthy. I start off around 250ppm (.5EC) up to 700ppm (1.4EC) mid flower. pH swings from 5.6-6.0

How can I stop this from happening? And why is P such a low ratio in most nutrient manufacturers?

yeah normal on a lot of genetics especially on older ones

Ive seen it on all my plants. I doubt its genetics across multiple strains. Probably a couple dozen.

Temps are in the 70s. I run lights 24/7 in veg so temps are pretty consistent. Basement grow so outdoor temp has little play.

What is the temp when the lights are shut down? If it's in a basement I assume it gets pretty cool correct?

Actually scratch that... Nutrient deficiency 101...

Chlorosis
please don't give advice like that when you don't know what your talking about its what makes these boards such a bad place for advice. you tell him now he has a disease which HE DOESNT and now he's going to go spend hours and days trying to fix a problem that needs NO fixing.. its not fucking chlorosis and is you know what the true symptoms of it were first hand you would know that.

Hey Phil K stick it up your ass.... I never told him it WAS Chlorosis... but Chlorosis can result in purple petioles. if you scroll up my other post mentioned low temps during lights off.... Another factor that can create this... So I can say anything the FUCK I want to and what you say Phil has no outcome on my end... Happy smoking sweetheart

yeah SNO .. no need to be like that on the boards bro.. it just comes to not giving advice if you don't know what your talking about its what gives these boards bad names and stops people from coming back for advice. WE ARE HERE TO HELP not guess... or give advice we know little on. i don't think you understand that stupid comments like that is what make people think they have the disease or deficiency and they go straight to the store and buy shit thinking they have issues ... they try to fix it and the plants fucking die cause there was nothing wrong in the first place... no ones attacking you were simply saying if you don't know don't give feedback. it hurts new growers more than it helps them. PLUS people sit here and google purple stems... they don't read through the thread properly and see your reply and instantly think thats the issue... you just aren't seeing the otherside.. its not a guessing or "hey heres a possibility!!" game.... anyone on here thats grown long enough can diagnose damn near anything from pictures or (like in this case) they have also heard this same shit that gets posted over and over and over for years.. because stupid people get on and reply "Nutrient deficiency 101...Chlorosis" and they are the ones stuck explaining that you have no idea what your talking about even though you act like you do.. thats it..

This thread escalated quickly...

I'm not really worrying about this until I see leaf deficiencies then...Seems like the consensus

I know the led lighting is purplish but you can clearly see the purple in my stems. Not a trait of this strain but my lights out temps are in the low 70's and lights on right around 83. Also has the purple petioles.
