Purple stocks

Hello fellow growers, Got a question for the MJ growing guru's. The stocks on my plants are purple. Now the plants are healthy and are growing great. They have new sprouts everyday and are about 14 to 15 inches tall and they are only 1 month old. The stocks are very heavy at the base, I'm pretty sure that a lot of that is from the fans. I'm running half mix of 24-8-16, PH is at a steady 5.9 - 6.0, I water about every 3 days. I'm growing in 5 gal. buckets, using miracle gro medium. Under 12 @ 26 watts CFL. I'm concerned because from what little experience I have, some plants by genetic have purple stocks, but I have 3 different strains. (Blackberry, Snowtracks, Johnny be purple stocks 003.jpggood), and all three are purple. What would the problem be, and what,if any, solutions to use to fix it. Maybe I'm being to protective over the girls, but I've never really seen it when all the plants have it. sorry about the poor clarity.:roll:purple stocks 002.jpg

I had same prob. Up your phosphate and feckless your lights on/off temps. Cool lights off temps will cause this as well as large temp Fluctuations.
