yes you dont look for purple that young. That tint you see is common in young plants and their newly forming leaves. not an indication that youll have purple a purple pheno.

i dont think its mold, theyre not that wet usually they got left in the rain when i was at work

and also how would i fix the iron problem? i know this isnt the right thread really for nute defs.

i need to get a better pH meter and possibly check pH, right now it says 7.5 but i think its broken, need to put them in perm pots, but for now ill leave em and see what will happen. im thinkin its really strain because all the other ones seem fine

oh and btw they are outdoor, i take them inside and put them under a few floros when it gets nasty outside. thats when i took the pics. to clear any confusion

The iron is actually there in the soil it's just not available to the plant when the pH gets out of whack. Really the plant needs rust it's just the dirt stops making it. The same is true for most essential metals needed by plants.

If your plants are getting rain water or run off that may be the cause. Glad to hear it's cleared up either way though.
