why do some of my plants have purple stems??
a clone that i bought from the weed shop and 1 plant that i have grown have fuzzy purple stems, while 5 others that i have been growing have clear (weak looking) stems....can anyone help me out and tell me what that means?? are the plants w/ clear stems not gonna make it??? (the purple stemed plants look stronger)

Why purple stems = genetics. Strain, phenotype, etc. Nothing wrong with purple stems.
Clear stems? doesn't sound healthy. Put a small fan on 'em to make 'em dance gently, promotes strong stem growth. To prevent stretching keep the light as close as you can without burning them. Let them dry out between waterings.

keep in mind purple stems arent always a genetic trait. they also can mean a lack of certain nutrients.

I don't think a lack of nutrients has anything to do with it... a lot of time cold temperatures at night will change it purple...
oh, and p.s. - I wish I lived there. I'd so be getting you to help acquire me some clones from that shop. :P |
