you've just described that your using fertilizer that's only or mostly N

so that's why your leaves are super dark green and some drooping.. too much N

the purple in most cases is genetic but in your case it could be a def of some sort possibly P
but I don't know enough about your fertilizer to say with certainty

is that an organic fertilizer? whats it derived from, does it say?

what size pots and how long have they been in them?

Sometimes magnesium deficiency can cause stems to go purple but your leaves look way too healthy for that. My guess would be it's genetic and you have nothing to worry about. Just keep an eye on the leaves for the next couple weeks for rust or brown coloured spots. IMO I think you have healthy plants.

Red can be from Mag deficiency. Try giving them a tiny bit of Epsom salts or Cal Mag.

If it is a sativa strain it could be genetic.

Have you checked out Fox Farms Dirty Dozen? It gives you all the extra goodies that balance out most grows. Its pretty cheap on ebay.

I am not super experienced, but I have had some that I am growing now look like that in veg and a little in flower. Ended up being N toxicity for sure.

I like the GH floranova 1 part for bloom and the floragrow 1 part for veg
the mixing instruction on the bottle are good....
its a one part fertilizer and its well balanced.. it already contains fulvic acids, amino acids, and kelp and its about all you need

im not at all a fan of the fox farm line of nutes..imo!
