LLOYD TURBO · Jan 27, 2012

will get some up tomorrow got a overall pic but u are unable to see the problem from this

could be a K issue as in lack of or not enough. if the soil is realy loose i hear that can cause it aswell

That's normal for clones to happen, don't freak out they'll come back

LLOYD TURBO · Jan 28, 2012

i had it before on some cheese clones but as soon as they went in to flowering room they came back good, thats why i seem to think it is something in the vegging cupboard like lack of air flow of something will get pics up very soon

this is the one tangerine dream will put rest up now

LLOYD TURBO · Jan 29, 2012

as you can see the k2's look pretty good but the other 4 have bad brown/purpling of the stems

LLOYD TURBO · Jan 29, 2012

help needed they look worse on the pics than in real life

LLOYD TURBO · Jan 29, 2012

please anyone i was asked for pics, i have searched for a solution also and cant find nothing

^NoR*CaL@420 · Jan 29, 2012

they just look stressed and probly need a potassium silicate like pro-tekt.

purple stems = that set of leaves arent getting enough nutrients. try feeding a LITTLE bit more barely.

purple stems are usually a sign of a cal/mag def.

N K P and Mg, are the only elements able to turn a stem purple FWIW

so will sulpher , If you use r/o water and never add cal/mag,your stems will turn purple

jason1976 · Jan 29, 2012

cold will do it to. water causes nutrient lock out thus causing it to turn purple. had it happen a few times before i got it figured out. lol

maps84 · Jan 29, 2012

Yep you said Mg. Sulfur is an advanced consequence of the def

So what do you all think i should try first?? Maybe air circulation or do you think it is better to try one of the things listed above??/
