Red Veining and Red Runoff

I have a pretty good amount of horticulture experience and knowledge but I still have a lot to learn about growing cannabis. I have an indoor tent grow going atm and I’m noticing some very intense red veining, at first I thought it was possibly a phosphorus issue but I noticed that my runoff is very red as well. I’m wondering if it could be a natural dye from the production of the soil I used, it’s my first time using this particular kind so I don’t know what to expect with it. It’s ‘nature’s care’ Organic and Natural made by Miracle-Gro. Is this something that anyone has seen or heard of?

A little of the vividness of the red color is lost in the poorly lit photo and I trimmed the leaf about 3-4 hours before the pic was taken. I also forgot to mention that I am using a 75/25 potting soil/peat moss mix.

So how much of the plant has this? Is the tissue normal and just the color off?
Genetics. Temps. PH a distant third in soil.
It’s a guess.

Actually the tissue is not typical in my experience, it’s strangely sponge like but isn’t as flexible as I’m used to. The most intensely colored parts are fan leaves and the larger vein structures at the offshoots at the nodes. The plant had a mutation that caused the plant to grow nodes of 3’s early on then appeared to be growing 3 main stalks but only one seemed to receive the proper amount of nutrients, the second grew at about half the rate of the first and the third was just very stunted.

Both, the leaf stems have a more solid coloration and the main stem isn’t totally covered though. I guess I would explain it as pinstriped, like an untwisted candy cane all the way up the length of the plant. Even the node offshoot stems are pinstriped in the same way.

Put up pics of the whole plant. It's hard to say without seeing the purple

The brownish color in the photo and your description of the soil runoff was throwing me off.
I thought bacterial for a minute.
But if it’s purple streaks ... I’m thinking genetics.
