Red stems

[Sitka]

I'm in week 7 of flowering out Afgooey. The stalks have been getting a darker and darker red almost purple. 2 27watt cools and 1 26 watt warm cfl. I'm using a soil mixture and ewc. The ph is around 6.3. The buds are very dense and coated with trics.

Are the red stems a problem or part of this strain? Asking for future grows, hopefully trying to nip this prob in the bud.

Thanks for any help.

Red stems can either be genetic ......or signify a P deficiency....which could be for a number of reasons....nute def....pH causing lockout....low temps.

At week 7 in flower.....I wouldn't worry about it. Your girl is using P for buds, not growing stems.

At week 7 it is normal for indica plants to start stripping the green pigment from their leaves, and stems. Ditto red stems are a common trait with some Afghan dominant strains. Peace
