My Arjan's Haze #3 has a strange stem! It is reddish-brown!

a) don't host photos on imageshak. Use the forum upload system.
b) Take the photos again without the hps light


a) non ospitare le foto su imageshack. Usa il motore del forum.
b) rifai le foto senza hps

Hi

Most of time red stems are nothing to worry, it may come with some phenos ( i had a lot of strains doing the same )
Could be a slight N underfeeding, but your plants are too little.
So nothing to worry !
 
hopefully the haze #3 is better than the ultra haze#1...because #1 sucks ass....what is the ph of the medium your seedling is in?

I see 2 healthy plants :)

make sure your light is close so they do not stretch too much. Are you using MH light?

THanks gram for the translation difference :)

Ya, those are 2 healthy plants; the way you want to worry is if the entire stem(s) is a deep purple color; most of the time it shows a problem if that happens; BUT there are exceptions and some strains have a natural deep purple with little green showing on the stems and when this happens this is a gene in the strain and not a nutrient problem.

Purple stems are phosphorus issues; but your problem is fine and is completely healthy!

You should steer clear of Greenhouse. Just my opinion.

BTW, most purple stems are either a phosphorus deficiency or just genetics (blue and purple families).

If those pics that dre86 posted are your plants, don't feed them anything for now. They are too young for liquid fertilizers except maybe a little magnesium.

that is perfectly normal. many plants, not only cannabis, show this interesting trait in many stages of growth, particularly, in the beginning of there lives.

yes, these are my plants :)

question: it's 12/12 time?
3 weeks of 18/6.... ? :)

is it time to switch to 12/12, after 3 weeks of 18/6?

You can switch to 12/12 whenever you want, but the plants are not sexually mature yet, so wait a bit more.

But they are yet stretching a lot and are very small for being 3 weeks old, so my advice is to LST them and get the lamp closer (or raise the pots).

Man: remove the photos from imageshack. It's really dangerous. Use this website to upload photos.

E' tempo di passare al 12/12, dopo 3 settimane di 18/6?

Puoi passare al 12/12 quando vuoi, ma le piante non sono ancora sessualmente mature, quindi aspetta ancora po.

Ma stanno già stretchando un casino e sono veramente piccole per essere di 3 settimane, quindi il mio consiglio è di fare un po di LST e di mettere la lampada piu vicina (o di alzare i vasi).

Hey: rimuovi le foto da imageshack. E' pericoloso. Usa questo sito per le foto.

lst... i can't understand what is this... :(
the plants are feminilized.... i have to wait too?

get the lamp closer... the lamp is 25 cm distant from plants, but I use cooltube...
the lamp is 150w...

lst... non capisco bene cosa sia questo low stress training, anche se ho googlato... :(
le piante sono femminilizzate, comunque non sono mature?

abbassare la lampada...?? è a 25 cm di distanza dalle piantine, ma uso il cooltube...
posso abbassarla, o rischio? la lampada è 150w..

p.s.: SEMPRE AVANTI COMPAGNO GRAMSCI! :rasta:

LST semplicemente vuol dire usare dei pezzi di corda per legare lo stemma principale e piegarlo... in modo da favorire la crescita dei rami laterali riducendo la crescita verticale...
