Why are my stems Purple

Is there a reason the stems of the fan leaves are purple? Like a deficiency for a toxicity?

My stems are almost always purple. At least on more mature plants.

@mangold0318 I agree the colors are very normal here. The wilt is concerning. Are they thirsty or is it bedtime?

Close to bed time and I had watered her a bit earlier. This plant is the problem child. Run off ph is good. TDS got a little low got that back up. She drinks like an alcoholic. But she is always kinda droopy. Fast forward to today she looks better. Took forever to come into flower also. Started these together granted they are different strains.

All look like they are showing off their colors. I think they are either hungry or thirsty.

On behalf of alcoholics everywhere, we can be good producers too!! Don’t you worry what happens when the lights go out. We’ll be ready for work on time most days when they come on. :partying_face: :rofl:

Purple stems nothing to worry about. Check weight of the pots To determine when you need to water. Good luck :v:

What strain you growing cause with strains you will get the purple stems due to genetics but purple stems can indicate a deficiency of some sort lile magnesium i watch a you tube video about this i believe if u go and have a look at icanthc YouTube channel there is a video he done that explains why this happens
