Mine were purple for 3 weeks untill I put them outside, then they got fat and green. Move the lights down.

lovely seedling, leafs responsive to the light, is exactly what you wan't. The purple stem is genetic, this can happen later as a sighn of cool enviroment or k deficiancy. Not the case here to young to have a deficiancy. It would get everything it needs at this stage if it grew out of a cork. Keep it up your on your way nice seedling.

looks great! no problems here. just be careful not to overwater, and dont fertilize for several weeks! that soil looks pretty good, what type is it?
