Hello Mr. L

Are you PH ing your water?

picture please....

cheers

90+% of the time this is a sign of a nutrient deficiency.. and 90% of nutrient deficiencies are caused by BAD PH... (not the actual lack of nutrients but rather the plants inablilitty to absorb the nutrents from the medium)

and NOW you KNOWM

I heard that the branches turning redish can be a ph problem.....cannot remember if it was low or high ph that causes it though.:peace:

Not really. The leaves look healthy but the stems are just purple as usuall. I give them some fish emultion and it helps them green up but it doesnt seem to last long. Maybe a week. I try to just ignore it cause the ones I have fflowering are making some nice buds. Not huge but nice.
