Why are my Seedling's Stems Purple?

DO NOT PANIC. A seedlings purple stem doesn’t necessarily indicate an unhealthy plant. Please take the following possibilities into consideration:
1 - Purple Stems could be a result of that wonderful thing we call genetics, if this is the reason, you are to expect a purple stem throughout the life of the plant. It must be noted that purple stems aren’t a dominant trait, and are rarely genetically induced.
2 - A baby sprout with a purple stem is almost always 100% natural. Young seedlings are still adjusting to their environment and may be slightly lacking in a Nutrient. If this is the case, healthy plants will regain their green/greenish-brown color within a few days to a week or two.
3 - If you have ruled out the possibilities of genetics and the seedlings adjustments to life, you should begin looking for a nutrient deficiency. Purple stems are commonly caused by a Phosphorous (P) or Magnesium deficiency, if there is a P deficiency you may also notice symptoms such as brittle leaves or greyish spots. To assist the uptake of Phosphorous (as well as most other nutes) you should ensure the pH is slightly acidic-- 6.0 will suffice.

Phosphorus deficiency, feed them some more P
that's exactly it i've got 2 kinds of food a liquid and some nutes the liquid is 8-14-9 and the nutes are 10-2-8 (organic) i've mostly given it nutes (not over feeding) and then some liquid also not over feeding also did in moderation i've gotten epsom salt in case of a block of any sort but it hasn't helped idk what to do

What kind of nutes are you using? I am guessing stuff from lowe's? I would look into some real nutrients like fox farms or general hydro flora series. You are going to always have problems using those nutes

how'd you figure. and yeah i was going to but when i was getting the stuff the place was outta fox farm so i had to settle for what i could get and there organic nutes i've read what's in it and i didn't read anything that i haven't read on here but i haven't really had major problems with the nutes til now as well
