with my night time temps at 71, I get purple stems. But it seems to have no affect on my plants that I can see. It may also be a strain trait. Are your leaves like a bluish tint too or curling wierd? Also is the leaves kinda yellow at the veins. Is the purple on the stems, leaves or whole stalk?

You can foliar feed with 1 qrt of water and 1 tsp of epsom salts to give the plant a quick soluble dose of Magnesium. To correct a low P which can cause red or purple stems, feed 1/2 strength Miracle Grow Tomato Plant Food or MG all Purpose. Make sure to skip the next regular and just water.
