Does this look normal? Purple areas on stem appearing on multiple plants. Day 22 flower

Hi guys, I just defoliated my plants the other day and today I noticed these purple areas on the main stem of 2 of the plants. Does this look normal or like some sort of deficiency, or could it be stress related from the defoliation?

Purple in stems can be 1) a sign of needing to add some calmag (calcium deficiency although your foliage isn't looking like it has a cal mag deficiency), 2) temperature fluctuations (this is somewhat normal if your temps fluctuate often from cold to warm), 3) Genetics. If you are sure its not a cal mag deficiency or genetics, I would try to just make sure temps are not dropping drastically.

Don't worry. Most of my plants had purple stems. It's embedded in genes.
