well, as of right now, i am at week 9-10 of 12/12

on 6 shiva skunks, over the past 4-5

days, all of the stems on my shiva

skunk's have turned purple, and got

more and more purple. i had a friend

doing a grow with a single shiva in his

closet with a shit load of cfls using

different nutrients than me, and his

stems turned purple too. should i be

worrying or is this most likely the strain?

FYI : at the beginning, lots of temp and humidity issues caused them to be stunted, and i believe they are around week 4-5

ok, since it is genetics, does that mean that if the stems are turning purple, it will still be able to take in the proper amount of light and nutrients, unlike other strains that dont turn stems purple that block out absorption?

Well, Shiva Skunk is a cross of Northern lights and skunk.
Neither of which have purple traits.
But, I did notice you said you are in the 9/10 week of flower!
Shiva has a flowering rate of 7-8 weeks.
I just harvested a beautiful Shiva and it is exquisite!
Although it did not produce as much as my Kush x Skunk.
I harvested this girl at 57 days.
Do you have picks of your girls you can post?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing (about the flowering length that is). I thought Shiva was supposed to be a relatively good yielder, and simple too. As far as stem color, what difference does that make? So long as the leaves and buds look good it shouldn't make any difference. Next time, please post a few more pics of them during the different stages too- always makes for good entertainment.

I'm gonna say it's likely just an enviromental effect.
From the cold winds we have had lately.
I too, noticed purpling on my outdoor in the last few days.
Don't worry alls good!
