Red planet starting to pale

Ever figure this out? Mine has been white pale at the base instead of green, and hasn't recovered in 6 months. Everything else has colored up really well since I got my phosphates steady and nitrates up. This one is a mystery that it's taking so long. It's growing like gang busters, but just a light pink.

Move it higher where it gets more light

Actually mine is at the very top. I moved the lights up and bumped the nutrients up for a bit. Tentatively looking better. I thought pale meant too much light or not enough nutrients, but I've been steady with good nutrients for some time now.

My bad. Ignore it for your case. I thought I was responding to OP.
I have two frags one at top and one at the bottom. The one on top where it gets more light it’s red but the one at bottom is mostly green with little red.
