Question Regarding Purple Color of Sprout

[umja345]

Hey guys, I recently started to try to grow haha.
I've already germinated the seed and planted it.
The plant has already sprouted out from the soil.
However, I've been getting a little concerned because the color of the stem and the under side of the first set of leaves is purple.

Is there something wrong with the plant or do you guys think it's it fine?

What kind of soil?

 

[umja345]

I'm not too certain haha. I just took some of the soil my mom was using to grow tomatoes...

Hmmm.. Looks cool, lol. I have seen plenty of red/purple stems and parts of leaves and whatnot, but that is just a little too pink, and on a plant that's a little too young, it seems to me. These plants can have funky colors, sometimes it means there's a problem but often not. You should know in the next few days/week if it continues to grow, then you'll probably be alright

Cold temps, I'm assuming?

Cold temps, I'm assuming?

yea iv had an entire sativa turn purple during flower from cold temps at night typically its more common for sativa but indicas do it too for example i had bubblelicious buds turn purple but that might be a geno thing at any rate it happens and its not something you need to worry about good luck and stay high

Well to be honest with you that little lady looks fine to me ....Had a few sprout with red stem ....It's having to push half a ton of soil off it's head to break out that might have done it ...lol.......But serious yeah all mine just went on fine ....good luck mate with the new grow.

I'm actually aiming at cold temps at night ...Turn my train wreck purple with a bit of luck ....

--Cold temperatures will cause bud, leaf, stem to turn purple. More likely in older plants, less likely in sprouts, and seedling.

--Genetics, some strains have purple traits

--A sprout with a purple stem is almost always 100% natural. Young seedlings are still adjusting to their environment and may be slightly lacking in a Nutrient. If this is the case, healthy plants will regain their green/greenish-brown color within a few days to a week or two.

--Purple stems are commonly caused by a Phosphorous (P) or Magnesium deficiency, if there is a P deficiency you may also notice symptoms such as brittle leaves or greyish spots. To assist the uptake of Phosphorous (as well as most other nutes) you should ensure the pH is slightly acidic-- 6.0 will suffice. This is unlikely in sprouts that are still feeding off there cotyledons.

Yep, its normal but you should go buy a good soil and transplant it asap, cheap general-purpose soils are garbage.

Thanks for all the replies haha
I think my plant is fine...
When I checked today, she (hoping its a she) grew about an inch or two
The color's still the same though
