Usually denotes a slight "issue" with the plant....not too much to worry about, but an indicator she's not completely happy. This is what I have taken from the experience here, I get slight purpling of stems and veins, too!

cool roddy yeah she aint happy but wat gal is lol its not cold in the room cuz I closed off my ac vent for not a lot heat from the t5 I have fan blowning off the wall for air movement going cut it off and see how that works for her thanks cuz.

Do not cut all the air off. Your plants need a continual supply of FRESH air all the time the lights are on for proper photosynthesis. Whatever is going on is not being caused by air flow.

:yeahthat:

you shut off air flow and you will have more issues..constant suply of co2

You aren't talking about your plants that are only several days old are you? Seedlings do not need or want nutrients--they need nothing for several weeks. Giving seedlings nutrients too early can kill them.

oh no THG I mixed som nutes just see how it worked,i just bought som lime to bring my soil up. when I transplant her I will then start the nutes buts in four more days.the hy yeild lime I got says to mix 1 tblesp to a gallon of water.i have hf 2 prong ph meter that willgive me a soil reading rite.

Menimeth · Jun 3, 2012

In my openion, a 2 prong PH meter will not allow you to keep your PH in check. You really need a better meter like a pen.

sidewayz · Jun 3, 2012

this pen yor talkin bout menimeth that will check ph soil & nutes? wat does one of those run for at a store.

BackWoodsDrifter · Jun 3, 2012

I responded in one of your other posts. Throw that prong thing away. They do not work at all (I cannot believe they still sell those) and IMO, this makes them worse than useless. I wouldn't be adding anything at all at this time, especially until you get an accurate way to check your pH. DO NOT TRUST ANY READING FROM THAT METER!!

I also believe that your soil is prenuted. This is something you are going to want to check out. Babies do not want or need nurients--it can kill them.

Hushpuppy · Jun 4, 2012

This is the meter that I currently use and it works well for me. You will have to find it on Ebay or one of the many hydro-stores, either local or online. It isn't expensive although I forget how much I paid for mine.
