It would be nice to have some more info about your grow to help identify any issues. The red can be a few things, depending on what temperature it is in the grow room it could be too cold which is known to cause plants to have red stems. it can also be genetics depending on the strain. Check the temps, fix ph with something like PH down or Pure lemon juice (roughly 2 drops to 1gal is ~-0.5 ph change, though lemon juice is NOT recommended as a continual remedy), check your feed, and learn as much as you can about the strain you're cultivating. good luck pal

My soil ph is between 7 and 8 how do I fix that with the lemon juice? I have ph down do I just put it in the soil or wtv? I water with 6.14ph for ab 3 feeds now and ph hasn't dropped

The temps are fine, shouldnt be the cause of the red stems. You should use PH down instead of lemon juice as lemon juice was just a temporary recommendation fix incase you didnt have PH down. Follow the instructions on the bottle and on the website for watering, then check the ph. After this you can check what you feed your plants nutrient wise, the red stems could be a deficiency of Magnesium, Phosphorous, or Iron.
(edit) forgot to mention getting an accurate PH reading is very important, if you have a PH measurer that can only give you a range between ph, I would try to get a better one ASAP, along with a PPM reader.

I forgot that ph in soil isnt as accurate as direct water measurement, mb, I would try to flush the soil if PH down isnt working to bring it down, flush and wait a bit, then test ph and continue flushing if it doesnt work.

I've tested runoff tho prob ab 1-2 weeks ago and it was like 7.5 or 7.6

well that changes it a bit, I had assumed you meant there was no changes whatsoever in both soil PH and runoff PH, the PH you see in runoff is usually a little higher than what it actually is so continue the feedings and stop at .3-.7 above your desired PH value, from there you'll have to do some testing yourself to fine tune the values.

do you mind me asking what grow setup you use? Is it a full bundle or a mix of different products?

I do dtw coco probably no help but for what its worth thats from light. Just a natural suntan lotion but with plants. Are the ones less purple further from the light?
Usually its correlated but I reffrain from helping much in general but especially soil. Being newer grower and rarely did soil and soil theres lots of differences.
Wouldnt be suprised if there infact was somethin soil related going on but worth a thought. Sites getting quiet so any help is probably fine.
