It's either genetic or a deficiency.

How cold tho? I've witnessed some nice harvests with the grower keeping day temps around 71F and dropping to 65F at night.. Let me tell you that shit was fire... lol

I think you're right about the genetics, some plants just tend to have purple stems but they seem to go away as the plant matures.How cold tho? I've witnessed some nice harvests with the grower keeping day temps around 71F and dropping to 65F at night.. Let me tell you that shit was fire... lol
I did notice purple buds, leaves and stems when I had plants growing outside out of season. Unsure what temperature they start to do that at. Under 20c is my guess

Not all plants I have growing of same variety have it. Must are well into flower. Using a flowering nute regularly. Getting some yellow leaves as well but that may be a sunlight issue. Had to move them to a spot with less sun for security issues. Just 2 or 3 weeks to harvest.... Hope they make it.

I get red stems on most older cultivars, what i have seen overtime is root binding creates red and dark purple stems also infrequent waterings. when i repot into bigger containers and get it into a real veg cycle they pop out of it. Except my cut of Ice cream cake, i can never seem to keep it happy and make it bounce back.
