would be good if you put up a picture of WHOLE plant.

can't see the leaves properly to know if this is a Phosphate deficiency.

BUT ... many varieties have reddish/purple stems so probly no worries!

are they the same strain that one has purple reddish petioles and another green? Purple petioles is no big deal in most cases but if your main stem is purple its likely a P def..

Here is some replies to another thread I have saved in my notes. Forgive me for not having the link to give credit...


Purple stems indicate a phosphorous deficiency. Rock dust is slow. Try some Jamaican guano tea. Recipes are in the Organic Soil forum.

So what the hell who you do if you were me?

Take 1 cup of alfalfa meal and 1/4 cup of kelp meal - not seaweed extract

Add that to 5 gallons of water and aerate for 36 hours. Strain and apply full strength to your soil.

Done. Finis. Ovah.

From the looks of your mix + your description, I concur with BurnOne's diagnosis but have a different mind as to correction . Raise your pH, your Phosphorous is locked-up.. PS, and apply increased temperatures to the soil zone if possible for the most rapid response to correction.

Hope this helps

Just to be clear

In botany, the petiole (pron.: /ˈpiːtɨoʊl/) is the stalk attaching the leaf blade to the stem.[1] The petiole is the transition between the stem and the leaf blade,[2]:171
