I have 4 plants growing from bagseed. Same soil, same water, same light source (fluorescent). They are all very healthy but one has a dark red stem while the others are green. Is this a problem? Believe it or not, the one with the stem is growing slightly faster than the others, so I don't know if it is something to worry about.

Could be where cold air is hitting the plant

Hmm, I dont how it is possible as my fan blows outwards and not towards the plants. Also I keep the room 70 deg
