Red stems

[BaronS]

in looking for info on problems I found a table of such and what they may indicate, from someone's growbible I believe.

 

It lists red stems indicating NPK problem. HANG ON!!!

 

Whenever I've heard anyone comment about red stems it's been 'WOW, look at those red stems, THAT'S AWESOME'.

 

I also know my shrubbery looks healthy enough to kick a mule, and it's got red stems galore.

 

Are red stems a problem or not?

Does it matter where/what is red?

hey mate,

some strains will naturally have red to purple like stems and leaves witch is no problem but other strains get purpley reddish stems and leaves from a lack of p so if your plants are as healthy looking as you say its probably due to the strain so dont worry have a good one champ

yea the boys are right too, so long as the bitch is healthy no matter ... and sometimes cool-cold temps can bring on red-purple stems an veins .. i can merember once in the coldest winter ever i had the whole plant turning purple-red colour but they were still healthy as can be, check the veins in pic ... no worries
