Molasses fertilizer making plant's stems purple?

What's up rollitup community, long time lurker first time poster here. So I'm about 1 month 12 days into my first mini stealth grow and I recently started using the standard 1tbsp/g water of organic unsulphered molasses with some nice organic soil, and a light organic soil mix. While I've been training this girl to make a nice quad shaped bonsai form with lst and tying, she's stayed nice and light green in the stems and a darker green, fat indica leaves (this was the only seed in a zip of some bomb afghani, probably hermie). But when I took down the ties to let the plant stretch upwards a bit (it's only 4in tall but over 8 inches horizontally due to the training), I've noticed a very dark purple vein that runs through several of the main branches, but no noticeable color difference in the leaves. My first theory was that the plant sucks up the amber color or the molasses stored up in the soil, just like celery will suck up red food dye like in 3rd grade biology. Disregard the tin foil blah blah blah, I'm only growing this baby with 3 27w CFL's, 1 6500k and 2 2700k. I'm in no way shape or form concerned about this but I was just curious as to what the minds on here would think about this. Maybe the plant has purple genetics that just came out now due to the lack of the lst? Let me know what you guys think!
