You shouldn't worry at all, the purple lines can appear even from slight stress on the plant. If you don't see any other symptoms, you should feel happy about your work! Good vibes! 👌

No, you can rest assured. It's either genetics or light stress.

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.
Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins. Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves. The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high. I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff. Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8

Purple petioles and cupping down
So, 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?!

Hello everyone, here is this lady with all the purple stems. Do you have any idea what it could be? I suspect the base temperatures during the night period. Share your thoughts, fellow growers.

Purple discoloration on the leaf stems... even though I pay close attention to always watering with a pH of 6.5, something is wrong with my plant... what could be the cause? A nutrient lockout seems to be the case...

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?

Stunted Growth, Continue?
Hello growers, My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.
