my plants were looking healthy till a few days ago they are a couple weeks old now and are about 6" tall the stock is a nice healthy green but the stems of the fan leaves are very pink/purple and are very flimsy to the point that my leaves are sagging a little bit right now. right now they are in some organic soil no nutes added yet. where do i go from here? ill get some pics up in an hour or so. any help is greatly appreciated

they look fine to me, but if i was u, i would cut off the fan leaves to give the smaller growing nodes under them the proper lighting

I wouldnt, fan leaves are needed to power the plant, if it didnt need them it wouldnt grow them, when it needs it no longer it will absorb its goodness and it will drop off.

cutting leaves... I haven't heard of that..and I feel miggzeh is correct, plants are pretty selectively adaptive, and after years of survival of the fittest, I feel they know how they should grow, don't cut your baby's. :)

Some strains of marijuana just naturally have pinkish to purple stems. Generally this comes from a phosphorus deficiency. But if you have that going on your plants would have some brown spots on the leaves as well.
