hey guys, i've been having an issue with red stems on fan leaves for a couple months now. from what I understand it means that the plant is not getting the calcium it needs but this doesn't make sense since I use cal mag with every nute water. I have been using molasses during the veg phase in an attempt to unlock additional nutrients in the soil and think maybe it has dropped the ph too much and has locked out the calcium but can't be sure. to add to the confusion, the red stems on fan leaves disappear at around week 3 of flower. I use dyna gro nutes:
veg - grow, kln, calmag
bloom - 2 parts bloom, 1 part grow, cal mag
so as you can see my nute regiment doesn't change a whole lot from veg to flower yet the red stems go away. any idea what causes this? aside from red stems on fan leaves, the plants grow pretty vigorously averaging 2" of vertical growth every 24 hours so I haven't been overly concerned but it's about time I figure out what the source of this issue is.
any help is appreciated
