Back For Another Grow

not sure I've seen the main stalk an branches this red before, I've had stems on leaves like that. could it be genitcs? or maybe a deficiency? the plant looks healthy and seem to be growing fine

Could be either but, given how healthy it looks I'm with @Grand Daddy Black in that it's probably genetic.

But, cool temps negatively affect the plants ability to uptake P which can also bring out the purples and reds. Some growers do that intentionally for the pretty colors but, since it's brought about by deficiencies, I've never seen the point of deliberately inducing problems in a grow that could negatively affect yields.

You've had some cooler temps recently so it will be interesting to see if it greens up as temperatures increase.
 
Welp, looks like I won't get another sunny day for the rest of the week. The girls look good tho

The plant will mine those leaves for inputs it needs so if those less than perfect leaves are because of a deficiency you haven't resolved then it will just take what it needs from the next layer up. Just keep watch.
 
I wholeheartedly agree with Keith and Azi! :Rasta:
 
The bushy one has very weird smell, kinda like sweaty feet. the other has a nice sweet smell. after being out of the apt for a few hrs as I opened the door to the house the smell of the plants was very noticeable. if it would warm up I could open windows and run a fan to lower the smell in the hallway to my apartment.

No need to fiddle with your camera Canachris, your pics look fine.

You have very photo-friendly plants. Just point and click! 📸
 
Plants are looking lush @Canachris

Photos are good too but I can see some white out on the highlights and background
Reduce the aperture by 1-2 stops, it looks like you're using f5.6 so f8 would fix that
Then use a flash set to 1/3 power to compensate and highlight the foreground, ie the plant
Lastly, avoid shooting at 90° to the back wall, as it directly reflects back at the camera; move a little higher so you are shooting from slightly above - that will minimise the amount of background light and improve metering overall
Gives you a better depth of field to play with too depending where you want to focus - side-on will always give you a 'flat' picture
