Question about purple stem/sore stem/nut deficiency.

Do sore purple stem which is caused by nut deficiency, do they ever recover and go back to normal colour once the deficiency level has been met?
I've analyzed and have noticed that if it recovers from deficiency the new shoots/tops end up just growing normal colour again, could be wrong, can you truly make the purple disappear from the old stems? reason why I'm asking this is because I don't want to end up deficiency straight to burn. I made a mistake of recycling some soil from old harvest and turns out it need unholy amount of nuts, if the answer is yes and the old pre-existing stems can go back to normal colour how long does this process take?

OK. Um nutes not nuts. We aren't throwing nuts on our plants. Just messing with you. Purple doesn't really mean something bad. Some just purple. Some even purple in weird patterns.

i think this purple stem thing has been up on these boards like 2 times in the last two days this is the third... purple stems in no way mean your having nutrient deficiency ..

Exactly. I don't know why op is freaking about it. The op asked this a while back to.

Op, purple is fine. Quit worrying. It is a weed that thrives just about everywhere.

That sucks was reading this "trouble shoot your plant" guide with pics and it said it means nut deficiency so I assumed it was because my other strains have no purple strain but this one did and had couple of faded colour leaves at the bottom turning yellow I already fed it and the yellowing stopped so I assumed it might need more that's why I asked for consultation.

Thanks for clearing up I was just confused because my other strains don't have it and the fact that this had 2-3 yellow leaves I got worried that I might need to nut it more, I fed it super strength nuts that has like 24/% N per scoop which is suppose to be for 4 litres of water, I used less than half of scoop for 2 litre bucket.

That's your problem. You are looking for a problem. Most plant problems take days to cause major problem.

Don't worry. Take your time. Only try to correct something when it pops up.

Seriously I've seen seeds flicked outside from rolling and find a full grown ant later in the year. It grows everywhere and its actually hard to kill compared to some house plants I grow.

Hahaha I know, think about it this way, first time I grew this particular strain had the worse luck ever, first it got nut burnt, then it got eaten by the cat, then it recovered, then it got nut burnt again and then I placed it in shelf in the tent so it's closer to light because it was so small and the fan blew and ende dup falling from the shelf, it was so bad the pot shattered in pieces and it was crushed still survived, I didn't get more than few g's from it but some how it survived it all.

That doesn't list purple stems. Only worry if the stems turn red.

Well red and purple are kind of the same thing depends how you look at it, google "red stem" comes up with purple so I'm assuming it's same thing, thanks for your helpful feed back, if you would like I can share a picture :)

What I'm saying is treat it like a weed. It doesn't need to be babied. Its actually hard to kill cannabis.

Yes a pic would be nice. The red you have to worry about you will know. Purple in cannabis looks more blue, black, purple.

The red will look more maroon or brownish red. It will also be accompanied by pale yellow leaves.
