Hey there my awesome stoned farmers!!!!! Who's getting stoned today? Huh? Huh? Momma getting stoned...dats who....(I say this to my cats whilst setting up my day)

So I have a question...(of course she does-says the peanut gallery...I you guys!!!) I've noticed that on a few of the stems of bigger leaves on my bigger girl look pinkish/maroonish. I was defoliating and very intensely focused on buds and signs of bud rot and I noticed that maybe 5 leaves look like this. All the new growth is green, most of her leaves are deeper green, they feel, smell and look beautiful, such a gorgeous plant on general. Well, here's the pics. About to test soil levels now also. Pic 3 is a normal leaf from the same plant. Pics 1&2 are the affected. One good thing, I think, is that the discoloration down the length of the stem is now green closest to the internode they were attached to, assuming that the plant rebalanced at some point...?(idk)

the stems are a little purple, but the petioles aren't, so i wouldn't worry about it, it's probably just genetic coloration

Aren't the stems called petioles?

Petioles are leaf stems branching out, the node where they meet included. No???

ok, we've defined petiole, and no one knows what the fuck you call the little area i'm talking about...but it still isn't red or purple, it's nice and green, so she probably is NOT dealing with phosphorous deficiency, or large temperature fluctuations, or over exposure to light....which are the things i'm aware of that will cause purpling that isn't genetic

Petioles is just the scientific name for the stem of a leaf.

I think I found your problem. The leaves aren't connected to the plant anymore.

perhaps i'm not using the correct term, but the center where the stem and the base of the leaf fingers meet is what i've always thought of as the petiole. if that little hub is not purple or red, then the coloration of the leaf stem is probably not important
