My plant's stem's gettin' a tint, ill post pics.
also, any advice on how to get the lower leaves from droopin' like they are? i think its from the light not gettin' thru, i'v got bout 7,000 lumes runnin' through a sq/foot, and i hear that's not quite enough...

years of growing....but never seen purple stems and dont know if 7000 is enough...hmmmm
7000 is plenty
and if its not in the genetics then it may be a N or P def

Red/Purple stems are from stressed growth. Those are the major stretching points.

Purple or red stems is as normal as a day with sunshine. It won't hurt a thing.
