I have an outside fresh air intake in my cabinet and the current temp outside is about 25 degree's F .i noticed 2 days ago my new growth was turning really light green and even had puprple in the leaves i moved my intake to where it wasnt blowing on them next day they had already recovered so no problem and nice catch on the problem.

young clones are weak, like seedlings, when they go under a new light or you transplant them be careful they will need enough water and adequate drainage, going straight into flowering could add more stress.

They will be fine whether the stems stay purple or not...growth can sometimes be slowed by low temps but I would say as long as you take care of the temperature issue there is not issue...as for the white spots on those leaves I do not know. I would have to assume it is some kind of fungus or mold though...what is the humidity like in that area?

purple stems this young and especially the main stem, is usually a deficiency.
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency: Magnesium deficiency will exhibit a yellowing (which may turn brown) and interveinal chlorosis beginning in the older leaves. The older leaves will be the first to develop interveinal chlorosis. Starting at leaf margin or tip and progressing inward between the veins....This can be quickly resolved by watering with 1 tablespoon Epsom salts/gallon of water. Until you can correct nutrient lockout, try foliar feeding. That way the plants get all the nitrogen and Mg they need. The plants can be foliar feed at ½ teaspoon/quart of Epsom salts (first powdered and dissolved in some hot water). When mixing up soil, use 2 teaspoon dolomite lime per gallon of soil.
If the starting water is above 200 ppm, that is pretty hard water, that will lock out mg with all of the calcium in the water. Either add a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts or lime both will effectively reduce the lockout.Mg can get locked-up by too much Ca, Cl or ammonium nitrogen. Don't overdo Mg or you'll lock up other nutrients.
Phosphorus (P) deficiency:Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.
Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.
Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.

not too sure if its the cold causing the purple , normally i see the cold making the leaves n buds turn red purple n black but not the steam
i also have some strains that are red n purple steams naturally but that does not show till later in flower
i doubt a plant this small could show any significant nutrient deficiency ..
as they are they look perfectly healthy
i wouldn't worry about it, or try to fix it, just let them establish a nice root system and wait for them to grow
