Sometimes low temps can cause this, but from what I've seen it is a phenotype. If the leaves look healthy you have nothing to worry about.

It's perfectly normal. Some have them some don't. Lots of my plants do and a few don't. All on the same nutes. This means it's just in it's genes.

I've noticed a lot of purple appear on the stem when they go under a decent amount of fluorescent light.

Sweeet thanks for all the reply's. Giving it the rest of this week and then throwing into flowering, theyre getting too big!

Homegrown: I figured the same thing, the plant that has it happens to be the best looking

Ooli: CFL since day 1

Once again thanks for all the help!!

Just remember plants of the same strain have both an A, and a B phenotype. Just cause plant A dosent have purple stems does not mean plant B won't either. It's like twins that look different if that makes any sence.
Happy growings, have fun with your flowering
