I’ve been doing lots of research on this subject.
purple stems are usually a phosphorus defen. But with all the reading and research I have learned, if the plants genetics are a colour leaning purple, and the plant is in every other way healthy, not to worry.
so I no longer worry about the purple.

Same here. I over reacted because of the person that created the seeds im growing was actually telling people that the stems should not be purple. I thought hey hold on!! The only ones I have that are purple came from you! So that’s when I started my search. Im glad this helps you. It sure helped me when I read that. And I read the same from several different searches. I have learned not to just read one or two articles. I read so much my eyes literally get sore.

Yes it comes from phosphorus deficiency. I bought some and started adding it in and one is still as purple as ever. And the other seems to be a bit better. And all my other plants are the bright green healthy. ( knock on wood)

I grew a bag seed I found in a commercial batch of GG#4. It grew well, but the stems were red the entire time. I also have heard a few people say that GG#4 commonly displays red stems. I know it wasn't a deficiency that caused the red stems on my plant, so I chalk it up to genetic predisposition. One of the strains that's in the mix that makes up GG#4 has the trait and it seems to be commonly passed on.
As long as every other aspect of the plants are growing well, I wouldn't be too worried about the red stems. And be careful not to overcompensate with the fertilizers, etc. Just let it do its thing.
