Your plant leaves appear healthy. If just the stems are turning purple, most likely cause is from intense light. Nothing to worry about.

Leaf problem and purple stemsHi,
I have a problem with my auto.
I have purple stems and problems with the leaves.
The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem.
Is it a nitrogen deficiency ?

Purple stems on some seedlings?Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?Week 1

Purple petioles and cupping downSo, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!Leaves. Curl down
