Red stem & Leaves

[Mavni]

High there!

I'm currently growing a couple of plants in 2 growing closets (Photos soon),
My grow closet now has 4 clones in veg state from an unknown strain and 1 new seedling from a quality seed (caramella)
I'm using an 80w flo at 18/6 and feeding the plants with "Bio Sevia" by GHE, adding "Mineral Magic" and "BM", Hydroponically.

This is my second cycle with these closets and I just started feeding Organics instead of "One Part"

After giving you a little background, my question is this:

some parts of the clones stem and ALL of the small seedling's stem are RED!!
I have noticed that there is a reddish hue at the bottom of the seedling's leaves

Again i remind you that these girls are from 2 different strains for sure!

I tried adjusting the PH levels and tried adding a little more Mineral Magic
I also tried adding a little BLOOM too, I read that this could be potassium deficiency if I'm not mistaking...

Can anyone help me here?
I'm really freaked over this little seedling as it is the only one that germinated from 5 seeds... I only have 5 more....It's really hard to get good seeds here...

Thanks in advance guys!

BTW: Today is a day for celebration, Today I harvested for the first time ever!!

Congrats on your first harvest man! What did you yield and what strain? Now, before sproutco chimes in and tells you to add BLA,BLA,BLA, I would suggest not to add or increase your nutes yet. it may not be an issue. Some seedlings look like this for a while. Now the clones . Pics would be helpful. Could be a potassium deficiency. When you say bottom of leaves do you mean underneath or the bottom of the plant? What is your PH?

Well It's a partial harvest, I took the big 3 nugs from the top and left the rest to ripe for another day or two..
It's an unknown strain, but different from the clones, this is more sativa like and the clones and another riping plant are sativa looking, but they are both bag seeds...

anyway, when i say the bottom of the leaves i mean the leaves them selfs, not the plant, remember, this is a week old seedling, it has only 4 leaves!

All I have are crappy cellphone photos, but i took some quality shots today, only ints analog, so i'll only have them tomorrow

I have this photo of the plants i'm currently ripening...i noticed that i had the same issue with them too....
take a look, this photo is 3 months old,and today..
I got 41g from these 3 buds before drying, its not a lot but its a start... the plant was waaay too big so it had some light issues.. now i know better..

From the pic of the seedlings I would say its normal. I have seen a lot of sativa hybrids do that. They grow out of it. I wanna see the pics you took of your current plants with red leaves before I give you advice I am comfortable with. Im sure sproutco will chime in with how you need to buy this and add that. But with out a pic it is just guesswork. It could be a ph issue or a def but once those pics are up you will get a lot of advice from the helpful people here who really grow ganja. Just dont add any more nutes yet that Im sure of. Btw, I bet your fingers hurt after triming with those sissors. I know mine would I got big fingers

 

[Mavni]

yeah it was'nt easy...i need to find me a better way to do that... anyway, I will upload some pics today, I hope they will help
I think you are right about the stem being red on some strains, but this is unusual... especially the fact that it has red spots on the leaves bottom...
Let's talk after i upload the pics, We'll be a hole lot smarter then...

Mavni, right now I have Ak-47,Trainwreck, Jedi, Afghan bullrider and p-91 with red stems on the leaves. No red spots on the leaves themselves. I think it is due to colder temps.

Click on these pics to enlarge...

 

[Mavni]

That's exactly what i have!
I have the pics, i'll scan them in an hour or two
what is that?

 

[Brother_Monk]

It's a boron deficiency...I'm afraid you will have to go out and buy some stump remover and spray them with it.

Just kidding. You'll see lol!

A plant that size doesnt need to be fed much if anything its a seedling......now that you did ......let it dry out....having defs is not the problem.....it is the "Symptom of the problem" it seems many in these forums dont get it........therefore feeding and watering will 90% of the time make it worse....in my opinion...cause ive done it too.....those plants are either cold....and or overwatered....of course leading to many other problems like irregular ph....

I gotta go and have a stump remover sandwich.....my favorite......

LOL. Its also called salt peter if you get it at the drugstore. You will not get an erection if you eat it. I think they used to give it to soldiers.

That is the best advice to give somebody. When I try to help others on this board I almost always say flush , let it dry out and keep an eye on ph. If you follow the advice of little sroutie and add everything and there momma it could compound the problem. Looking at the ram horn the leaves are forming I think it is overwaterd. That and the fact it is a seedling. Cold temps may also play a role here. You know sprout you remind me of a trival pursuit kinda guy. One who knows everything but knows not how to carry it out. Please grow some ganja plants. They are not the same as cabbage or whatever the fuck you grow

What ram horn? He has not posted the pictures yet. Those pictures I posted were from previous infirmary patients.

I know sproutco. He did say that they look the same so I assumed this could be the issue. When he posts the pics we will then know.

very young dont feed and dont OverWater. You have given some food and additives maybe too much keep it simple when plants are this small the smallest mistake can be lethal at this age. If the cotyledons are yellowing then they are looking for food, purple could be a natural trait of the strain or a little stress from overwater or to many additives. Good luck a little time and Im sure they will grow out of it mine always do, let the fighters fight.

Sproutco, salt peter is potassium nitrate and it does not work in keeping you from an erection. It was used in the early days to preserve meat and as one of the componants of gunpowder. If ingested, it can cause general weakness, stomach disorders and kidney failure. Just thought you would like to know.

Potassium Nitrate! Saltpeter! The military used to put it in the eggs at breakfast so a certain "joint" wouldn't get stiff when it wasn't supposed to. We could spot it right off in the Army. It, the saltpeter, gave the eggs a greenish tint.

did you honestly read that article sproutco?

Saltpeter has a long history of medical use. It and other nitrates were employed by doctors during the 18th century to treat such varied problems as asthma, sore throats, and arthritis. Not that it was used wisely for these purposes, however -- physicians were far less knowledgeable in those days, and potassium nitrate's hazards were not understood as well as they are now. Saltpeter can be toxic in large quantities. It can cause anemia, methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder), headache, stomach upset, dizziness, kidney damage, and can raise one's blood pressure to a dangerous level. It is thus strongly recommended against, and no one in his right mind would dose himself or anyone else with it.

Given that saltpeter doesn't suppress sexual urges and is dangerous to use, the Army lacks any reason to administer it to those within its ranks. Yet those two facts will probably do little to dissuade those who are certain the coffee continues to taste funny.

Yes, I have always loved those rumors about the military using saltpeter. The greenish tint to the eggs is a good one too. Army cooks can always fuck up anything. Was probably powdered eggs. I got a massive boner(for a white guy) one night in basic. No saltpeter in my food. If you stayed awake long enough, you could hear guys all over the barracks beating off.

Maybe that is where I got my high blood pressure. Too damn much saltpeter in the military.

 

[sproutco]

So all along the saltpeter was just a rumor?
