Purple Seedling Stem - does it mean anything?

My seedling stems are always purple, and occasionally i see a purple tinge on the leaves. They always turn out fine....

It can't be deficient since it's still feeding off itself.
 
it could be from the plants being cold. mine usually go purple due to being cold. usually just the stems and little parts of the leaves. i think it has something to due with my 10 degree difference between the lights on and off period. they normally stop purpling once the plants get further along in growth. it never seems to hurt anything though. peace.
 
Temperature could def have something to do with it... That makes a lot of sense. It is in the basement, and i'm using cfls. But to compensate in my flowering room I exhaust back into my veg room to keep it right around eighty.

hmmm yeah im not sure either ....
but was wondering the same thing
I was speculating that it might have to do w/ cold and/or indica genetics due to what ive read about bringing out purples.
 
yeah if its actually a purple strain that would have everything to do with it. but chances are its simply the temp if its not a purple strain. peace.
 
This is normal, probably not a purple strain, lots of strains will have purple stems on fan leafs as well.

Also its probably not sativa, I get way way more purple indica strains than sativas. Short indica dominant plants tend to purp out more for me. My sativas tend to get nice and tall and a beutiful green color.
 
If it is just a seedling, a purple stem is normal. Many plants, when started from seed, have a reddish/purplish stem at first. Depending on your strain, this may go away or it may not. Either way, it is nothing to worry about :)
