I just saw that my plant has red striped stem. this is new as of yesterday. I have heard of this being caused by cold temps or Phosphorus deficiency. Could someone shed some light on this. Is it O.K.?

Thanks
 
if it's not either of those then it's probably just the genetics of the strain. i'm growing atleast 2 strains that are like that. and they had red stems from when they popped out the soil
 
Yah I read in some Botany book about that. it means something.
what it means I forgot.....
As long as it looks good (the Plant) I wouldn't worry about it.
all mine are or were like yours.
Maybe it could be the genotype.
 
Here are some photos
The plants leaves are starting to yellow a bit as well. only 4 more weeks til harvest so I dont want to do anything too drastic.

It could be cold temps. What is your high and low temps?
low temps can cause nitrogen deficiency. Signs of nitrogen Deficiency is red/purple stems and eventually, yellow then brown, dead leaves. This is normal at the last phase of flowering, as marijuana dies after it flowers.
 
try a Folair spray with a higher percentage of n than pk
just spray the bottoms of the sun leaves. like a few minutes before they wake up, or just as there waking up. it'll help with the yellowing leaves. when the lights go off spray them with water. You can do this every day.
 
is white widow a strain that does that because my momy is getting red stripes and the fan leaf stems are all purple.
 
i grew out some really shitty mexican brickweed bagseed and it has stems just like that like you describe exactly. nothing wrong with them, but that's just how the stems look.
