All about how ya feed
ya agree, ive gathered that. Do you have a theory on which nutrient is the culprit? Ive got a cut from the same plant in pic i posted that spent too long in a small cup and developed purple petioles. I potted it up and the new growth unfolded bright green but the older purpled petioles remain. Leads me to think a non mobile nutrient is responsible.

It is not just one nute but rather the over all amount bein fed, mine are red/purple because I follow a low nute regimen. There is a whole chapter in my book about it

so in your view it's not a deficiency?

edit: nah your theory doesn't really hold true. Loads of growers feed their girls like sows going to slaughter. Yet purple petioles galore.

some are genetic 8)
Ya, an often repeated explanation that is of dubious value .:eek:

before i changed my regimen i had purple petioles on pretty much every plant. Still good results though.

After i changed my regimen i never get purple petioles unless i delay potting up. The genetics explanation might be true for a handful of plants. But it is no explanation for the purple petioles conundrum,imo.

I get em on purpose and have grown both ways so not really seein a conundrum

Ya, i recall you said that before. I think it's puzzling that if the bright green petioles are a sign of vibrant health why cultivate purple?

It makes for a better end product if done right, I have also seen more genetic expression feeding this way. I don't grow for money so I don't care about yield I think most might be amazed at how things turn out with that mind set ?
