Purple leaf stems is not an issue. Drooping is likely overwatered, underwatered, end of day droop, or maybe root bound.

2 things i think it can yes on temp left a/c running with lights offf got too cold in the 50's.. plus i think i cut the nitrogen out too early.. cause they are still drooping but not as bad now after i gave it both parts of nutes and turned a/c off..just waiting for the purple to go away.

If it was near 50 degrees F. you will get purpling, and otherwise they look pretty good. I wouldn't worry much. some types don't stretch up to the lights while others do.

Mine droop a bit in the dark and reach up towards the lights when they are fed and happy with moisture levels. I was referring to the leaves.:mrgreen:

hey to me that looks like what happend to me it was cal/mag deficiency exactly same droopy and red leaves/stem
foliar feeding helps fastest because the plants only uptake of cal/mag is at PH 6.2.-6.5 range
goodluck buddy
