Purple stems/Advice

I am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

LGTM ^^ But check the temps, especially the nights, which I suspect are a little cold. When it's cold, some varieties show off their purple coulours. It's not dramatic, but may hide phosphorus deficiencies to the eyes. > Purple stems are usually just from the stem being exposed to LED lighting. Tss… bro-science. 💩

Your plants appear quite healthy overall. No drooping, no visible signs of deficiencies or toxicities of any kind, no taco-ing of the leaves, a great shade of green. It probably is just genetics and I personally never worry about purple stems (I get them frequently). Plants always turn out good regardless. This is as far as my knowledge goes. Hope it helps! Good luck!
