Does anyone know if Hindu Kush is supposed to have red stems? She is a clone and she looks healthy but i keep hearing red stems are a sign of nutrient deficiency.....

ive heard of purple stems, some purple stems are normal with some strains, so ive been told... and purple stems can also be from nute deficiancy.... but Ive never heard of red stems...

what kind of soil are you using?

sometimes clones get red stems but its nothing to worry about... if your using MG siol, iw ouldnt use any ferts, or this could be the problem...over nuting.

i'll check it again but i think my soil ph is 6.3 or 6.4.... if it turns out to be too low can i just water with tap water(which i hear is notorious for being closer to alkaline than acid, something like 7.0) to balance my soil ph?

SWIM has Hindu-Kush also and has red roots, first grow, wasn't sure if this was normal or not.

its pretty damn healthy still... i think this one can be chalked up to genetics
