Most of the time this means the plant is going threw fluctuation in temperatures. warm days cold nights will purple them up.

From what i understand, it is either Phosphorous and/or Magnesium deficiency OR a genetic trait.

My Sweettooth 1.1 has very purple stems. In its case, it is a genetic trait, i believe.

If the"dark" is like black and right at the soil line, watch out for some sort of rotting problem.

I know the strain is sourkush from reserva privada. I did have them inside and once I've moved it out the weather has been hotter then usually an cold at night. I'll keep on eye on her

If it's not genetic it's a P deficiency. It's time to add nutes.

I think lighter green new growth is pretty normal.
