Red stem problem

[MegaClutch]

I flushed today because they are drinking so slow and aren’t growing :/

Howdy MegaClutch, the 'red stem' is not really a problem (unlike red tide! LOL). I have had it before and without any problem or detrimental effects to the plants. I have found that it occurs where the light exposure is stronger on the stems and actually disappears where the leaves shade out some of the light. I will look thru my grow pics and see if I can find a photo of this from a past grow. I would expect that plants that have been defoliated would tend to show more 'red stem' than those less defoliated. Anyway, the red stems have not been any problem for my grows.

I even used a PAR reader and it shows the light it’s getting is perfect and the lights are very far from the plant and my last run got effected with the red. I usually never got it till the last few months.

I've been having red stems on my current grow. They are only on big long stemmed fan leaves which will be cut off anyway. So I don't worry about them. They are Kosher Kush and I had them on my last grow as well and it didn't have any ill effect.

I have red stems on the Killer A5 Haze at the top of the plant...closer to the light. Some of the stems are only red where the light directly hits them. In other words some are half red. Some say red stems are a sign of stress or type of plant 'sunburn.' I'm not sure because I've had red stems on every single grow and didn't know it was an issue until I started reading about it. Seems like there's no definitive answer. The red hasn't hurt the quality or quantity, as far as I know.

I have red stems. And green and red stems mixed together. Hasn't caused any problems for me. Your plants look healthy. Roll with red stems man! Unless you start seeing leaf problems I think your good.

Huh this is not unusual cause i've seen it alot but never have i seen a absolute fix . Good luck i hope all goes well with them, i know when i get them does'nt seem to bother the plants yield.

[MegaClutch]

Yes they are the same strain. The weird thing is some are green some are red and it’s A straight OG.

[SoOrbudgal]

Hmmm heard some say it's genetic , weather related and i get them also so do hundreds of other growers. Are they clones all the same strain?

[MegaClutch]

I can’t figure out why my stems are turning red now and my last crop anyone have any suggestions?
im running 1930e Gavidas they are a good 6 to 7 ft away from the plants and I feed Athena ProLine.
