100_3744.jpgwho can give me some info on my stems turning red.temps have droped last week or so temps are all over--i have a 4 inch fan pulling out heat during day and close off holes for night when its cold.seems the very red stems have faint red streaks in veins.i have not give any ferts except----on day 10 i gave 1/4 5-1-1 0n day 18 i gave 1/4 open sesame---on the 24 i gave 1/4/ beastie bud again on day 31 same with 1 spoon of mollases --ready to feed again but not sure what to give him----1 guy says nitrogen---another says something else---5 people 5 answers---not effecting plants so far but i see it coming on all my 11 girls
 
here is a pic of 1 leaf --found this on 3 leaves after bringing out into sun.100_3765.jpgdoes this look like a burn ,over ferts,or need flushing--never has been flushed
 
I once tried to experiment with a plant. I wanted to see how low I could take the plant lower in pH until it started to show illness. I kept lowering the pH with vinigar in water every day. When the pH dropped down to 5.5 the plant lost all its purpleness in the stems. I continued until the plant was lowered to 3.7. The plant never showed any symptons of illness it just florished and yielded well. I am just mentioning this because when my plants show purple stems I lower the pH. Pot plants just seem to like it on the acid side. A friend once told me that purple stems are a sign of phosphorous deficience. I don't know if that is true.
