Ok what you did not like the other answer you so you try again ok good luck with that as always thank you for your time and the best of luck
Thank you Jeff
Definitely boost the N a little bit but they look pretty good. Purple stems are either from cold or Phosphorus def. hard to believe it’s from phos. while still in veg

Me personally would chop all that under growth away , fold it in half let all them side shoots get some light , would also add cal/mag and maybe ease back on the feed .
What's ec readings
What's ec readings
Do not have tds/ec or ppm meter. I use tap water from bc canada that sits for at least 24 hrs to dechlorinate and then ph to 6.4 - 6.6 roughly
I also recently started using an airstone in Hopes of adding oxygen to water for mixing and plant uptake... if that helps I don't know

So you using soil??? Guess so with ya ph readings .
What soil ??
What soil ??
Just recently was told that fox farm line doesn't need ph adjusted water. Also been told it is dire to add notes but I also heard that the soil doesn't need food for 20-30 days and since I have been upsizing I thought the new soil would sustain it.... guess not

Let's get this one straight.
It doesn't need Phing at the beginning. Once the microbes in the soil be come inactive ( they deliver nutrients to your plant) you then need to Ph your water. Without microbes if you dont set the waters Ph correct the plant will no be able to uptake certain nutes.
You can reactivate microbes however that takes a while to accomplish.

I never pH my water when I grow in soil and it comes out of the tap at 8. Plants don't seem to care. Don't get caught up checking runoff pH and then attempting to correct it by dumping too low or too high pH water through the plants. You could probably start with a weak nutrient feed. Nothing crazy. And don't worry about the purple stems. I get them all the time. Many strains have purple stems. If the rest of the plant looks healthy purple stems mean nothing.
Good luck.
Thanks. Mt tap water water is between 7 and 7.5. I will stop trying to adjust it. Hopefully less ph swing will encourage faster growth . Which nutes di u use for veg?

I just use a cheap dry nutrient similar to Jacks and calcium nitrate in veg. But I'm switching to organic.
Just a base micronutrient blend
And calcium nitrate

I second this, what light are you using? How many watts? How far away from the plant? What lighting schedule?
Also, what strain? Is it autoflowering?
