    So everyone seems to say this is bad but what do I do to fix it???  All of my plants have them and have had them since they got nute burned around the second week.  Ive flushed them twice since then but they still show.  Not so much in new growth but sometimes it is.

    Its nothing to worry about. Just means your plant is a little stressed i.e some variable in your environment is not at optimal levels.
    Continue growing as normal.

    Get rid of MG nutrients..
     
  3. I have a Jack Frost plant that has purple stalks/stems since day one.  It doesn't necessarily mean you have unhealthy plants.  Some are just naturally that color.  Any way you could post a picture?
