Too much pre-flowers?

You're right, and the lack of leaf yellowing seems to contraindicate that. It's just the first thing that I suspect when I see it. I don't like to see it and never have believed it is just a trait of the genetics, and if it is, then those are weak genetics IMO. To me it is never a good sign.

Some strains will always have that purplish color it also depends if night temps are dropping significantly.

The low night temp purple, you're talking about the petioles specifically? I know leaves and calyxes can turn from that, but petioles? What about branches or stalks? I have seen dying plants with completely purple stalks, it looks like a corpse.

I will concede that it may have a genetic component, but would you say even of the cultivars that do it, the best plants of those cultivars tend to have the least purple petioles? I just think a lot of newbies start seeing purple streaks and get all excited thinking surely it must be some Double Purple Urkle, when really they have not fed anything since it sprouted 26 days ago. Besides that, considering this plant looks like it is planted in some river bottom somewhere, it probably needs some food.
