Show a pic if real concerned but the purple is probably genetics

Stem purpling can be genetic too.

need some tips on some plant trimming my plants are extreamlly bushy

[Tersky]

Looking good man. Trimming is something i struggle with and i probably do it too much. I try to make sure that no fan leaves are blocking budsites but dont go crazy or else it will stress your plant too much. Also dont do it too close to switching to flowering as the plant will need time to heal after each trim. I wait till week 3 then do a trim then wait a week or two and flower it. After it finishes stretching after the veg/flower stretch is when i trim it again. But it is still kinda new to me as well. I would love to see more advice to trimming plants.

first i want to point out that the soil looks really dry. possible under watering them? what size did you transplant to. id start out with a clear solo cup for clones and then move up to a 5gal pot until roots are formed good again then either jump from a 7 gal for flower or a 10-12 gal pot. i recommend looking into to the air pots (http://air-pot.com/garden/) their fantastic pots. easy to transplant plants as well as helping prevent root bound.

Trim trim trim

Have no fear...

[Potted]

The plants need a bigger home maybe 5gal. With good drainage don't know your hight restrictions keep bending and tieing down luck

so been awhile since I have updated everyone but this amazing journey is coming down to everyones favorite part! flower! in in my 2nd week here is a photo of how big they have gotten let me know what you think!! and remember this is my very first grow!

[Tersky]

Looks great! Only thing i would suggest right now is to defoliate. I see some HUGE fan leaves that you could get rid of and just clean it up so you get full light penetration. This is the time where light is absolutely crucial! Removing some fan leaves to make sure your lower bud sites are not in shadows will make a big difference. I still struggle with it as i am still a newb myself with only a handful of grows under my belt. Practice makes perfect! Great Job MNBrandon!
