hello all! I'm new to this website but I have reviewed a lot threads on your forums and love it. So what I need is a little advice on if my 7 day old Autoflower is in need of help. I can not find any posts that have what I have so it might just be genetics.

I'm growing in a smaller grow tent with led grow lights 300w vipar 5w
Soil is promix all purpose seed starting mix.
Distilled water at 6.0-6.5 ph
Seed THC bomb Autoflower

First my stem has been purple ever since my seedling sprouted. Now it's at day 7 and it's still purple and some of the veins are purple! I took some pics . Let me know if you need more. Thank you so much for looking!!

any nutrients being used? look decently heathy. i would hit it around the 6.1-6.3 range at this stage. Purple stems could be a strain specific thing. wouldn't worry to much my friend.

Dude your the man! I'm not using any nutes at all until at least 2 weeks. And yea it is really looking healthy besides the stems. Just curious and thought I would have a experience person give their piece of mind. Thank you!

Why is distilled water bad for growing? It's at a nice pH level out of the container? I have well water and I am afraid to use it for pH issues.

i do believe water has minerals and such that are beneficial to plants. distilled might be along the same lines as RO water where everything is taken out? (some people like this some people don't) I use a small boy filtration system to remove chlorine from my water here in colorado. but iv heard around here that using a RO is pointless.

No trace minerals, no O2

Try filtering your well water, tis easy to adjust PH

Oh wow I'm going to try and filter my well water now since it should have a lot of nutrients in it! Thank you for the help! I greatly do appreciate it!
