Hey Crankbait, glad your ladies are looking good....."but"....That word is always present for those perfectionist such as most the farmers here who take pride in their effort and expense.
Here is a web page that may help explain the purple stems;
Plant Problems Symptoms: Red stems | Grow Weed Easy
And, below is a chart of sorts that I have found both useful and helpful.
13 steps or less to Diagnostic your Nutrient Deficiency
1. a) If the problem affects only the bottom or middle of the plant go to #2.
b) If it affects only the top of the plant or the growing tips, skip to #10.
c) If the problem seems to affect the entire plant equally, skip to #6.
2. Leaves are a uniform yellow or light green; leaves die & drop; growth is slow. Leaf margins are not curled-up noticeably.
>> Nitrogen(N) deficiency. b) If not, go to #3.
3. Margins of the leaves are turned up, and the tips may be twisted. Leaves are yellowing (and may turn brown), but the veins remain somewhat green.
>> Magnesium (Mg) deficiency. b) If not, go to #4.
4. Leaves are browning or yellowing. Yellow, brown, or necrotic (dead) patches, especially around the edges of the leaf, which may be curled. Plant may be too tall.
>> Potassium (K) deficiency. b) If not, keep reading.
5. Leaves are dark green or red/purple. Stems and petioles may have purple & red on them. Leaves may turn yellow or curl under. Leaf may drop easily. Growth may be slow and leaves may be small.
>> Phosphorus(P) deficiency. b) If not, go to #6.
6. Tips of leaves are yellow, brown, or dead. Plant otherwise looks healthy & green. Stems may be soft
>> Over-fertilization (especially N), over-watering, damaged roots, or insufficient soil aeration (use more sand or perlite. Occasionally due to not enough N, P, or K. b) If not, go to #7.
7. Leaves are curled under like a ram’s horn, and are dark green, gray, brown, or gold.
>> Over-fertilization (too much N). b) If not, go to
8. The plant is wilted, even though the soil is moist.
>> Over-fertilization, soggy soil, damaged roots, disease; copper deficiency (very unlikely). b) If not, go to #9.
9. Plants won’t flower, even though they get 12 hours of darkness for over 2 weeks.
>> The night period is not completely dark. Too much nitrogen. Too much pruning or cloning. b) If not, go to #10…
10. Leaves are yellow or white, but the veins are mostly green.
>> Iron (Fe) deficiency. b) If not, go to #11.
11. Leaves are light green or yellow beginning at the base, while the leaf margins remain green. Necrotic spots may be between veins. Leaves are not twisted.
>> Manganese (Mn) deficiency. b) If not, #12.
12. Leaves are twisted. Otherwise, pretty much like #11.
>> Zinc (Zn) deficiency. b) If not, #13.
13. Leaves twist, then turn brown or die.
>> The lights are too close to the plant. Rarely, a Calcium (Ca) or Boron (B) deficiency. b) If not… You may just have a weak plan
And yes, please stay in touch.

Yes, we all need a backup that can be trusted. I met and connected with my lady 56 years ago. We started toking in the mid 70's and have been ever since. She is usually a happy smoker, though she gets paranoid with too much sativa. Me, I'm just a stoner, don't care what kind of pot I smoke. We don' t do drugs, just stoners.
Have you tried living with a dog, they are so cool and forgiving. I have a pit and normally he is sort of laid back on his couch while in the house. When I smoke (he is always with me so he gets second hand smoke), he seems to become more aggressive to outside noises then usual. That's OK, but problem is he comes to me to let him out to investigate, which happens just as I'm getting really relaxed and not too eager to get my lazy man's chair to let him out.
Till later

Ya check this out...the best dog I ever had was a pit. I moved to colorado springs and got a one yr lease on a house and the neighbors called the cops on me for walking my dag..turned out pit bulls were illegal to own...they said i can move or forfeit the dog..i was locked into a lease and i couldnt afford to move...they killed my dog..put her to sleep..she wouldnt hurt a fly...ive been attacked by Pomeranians when i was doing line work for Gods sake.. Ever since I didnt wanna feel that hurt again!!
