purple stem

mine was a purple stem to at first, like the first 1 2 weeks, all seemed to be going good up till now, now my leaves are curling upwards some are drooping its like going wild, i had no nutes on mine neither... i dont have a solution to your problem if a purple stem is even a prob. just lettin you know your not the only one with a purp. stem
well its most likely ak47 so i dont think its strain. And my temp varies, the lowest i think it has been is 65F, and max is 80F, but 90% of the time its in the 70's.

This might sound weird, but ever since I recently switched back to fluoros for veg, I got purple stems on all three strains. 
No fert, no nothing. When i had them under HPS and MH, they were nice and green, so i figure it has to be the lights. Also, the leaves are alot darker green, wider, and much healthier looking. They're only a couple weeks old right now, so i don't know if they'll grow out of it, but i can tell you that they are healthy as hell. It's not a problem, in my case, so i hope your's is similar.

i have 5 different party cups right now all different strains and 2 have purple stems all in the same environment. Purple stems are a regular thing and just have to do with the individual plant I wouldnt worry about it
Could also be signs of a nitrogen def as well, but doesn't sound it for you.
