Thanks, I'm just being careful. Yes, it's rice husks. They are great for drainage, but this deteriorats over time and they may rob nitrogen as they decompose, but the give good results in pots.
yea i used to get chicken manure with rice husks in the mix , they were great , nice aeration and they seemed to attract worms ,
gotta use what you can where you are i think , seems you doing a good job of being resourceful man ...

So maybe ... because the seedling is young ... and its root system is not so well developed yet ... and perhaps, just perhaps ... the soil mix is not absolutely perfectly mixed ... the seedlings roots have not yet found an ideal amount or level of phosphates.
Another way to put this is: the purple will grow out.

Thanks for all the help, I think I am worrying about nothing. I am using a Mars 3000, I had a lot of trouble when first using it, light burns, stretching etc., but now it's great.
Wally, I always try to be resourceful. I think it's key to surviving in developing countries or anywhere for that matter. Humanity will make the required U turn when we see waste products as resources. Rice husks are a good example, now they are burnt to power rice mills, with the by product being bio char. Once a waste product, they now have to bought by the bag.

You want to keep a steady EC and not let it fluctuate. A plant needs a consistent supply of nutrients and no disruptions with pH. If you can keep it steady your plant will adapt to the growth. I little discoloration on the petiole is natural and shouldn't be a problem.

Seedlings like a boron foliar, particularly under led.

Can someone explain why it's Purple ?
In minerals it's often related to oxidation states.
If someone asked me to explain the Oxidation States of Cannabis ...
I would just smoke another bowl.

I got the red stems and petioles too. Additional B and Mo has made a huge difference. First I chased P and K..wasn't that. Then Mg..nope. Moving K/Ca helped.
