Ok, here is a good one for someone to figure out. These new sprouts turned redder overnight. I changed the water yesterday and didn't add anything to the water as far as nutrients. NO3 should be about 10ppm. The lowest sprig in the back on the bottom is the brightest one. I still don't believe that all the plant is effected by the same thing but this is unlikely caused from my lighting. Just another twist to the story.
Here is my newest theory. High light needed to use up nitrients causing plant to actually suffer and allow the virus to thrive turning the plant different colors.
Here is another one. The higher the light and the healthier the plant the more excess nutrients are available for the virus to thrive and create the colors which are actually a symbiotic relationship with the plant to provide nitrients in time of need. Kind of like a bulb for storage of nutrients over the winter. Could allow the plant to grow a lot more at night when it is not photosynthesising.
Any thought?
