if your using led it can cause purple can also be nutrient uptake but most times it will grow out of it. Strains can also have purple in their genetics. Unless its growing slow or causing more problems I wouldnt worry
 
First add more soil to that naked stem .... no reason for it to have less space for rooting.

Tell us more about grow ....
Medium
Nutes
Water
ph
lights
temps
light cycle
etc.

Ok maybe it’s the led cause that’s the light I have so sounds spit on to me but I’m not sure. Thanks for the input/help

If I were u I would do a lot of reading tonight lol, I have never grown but I’m still reading and doing research and if u want good quality bud and big yields u want to know what ur doing.. these plants require a lot of time money and knowledge.. and I could be wrong but I think depending on whether ur growing and auto seed or not u may want to give it some hours of darkness I wanna say 4-8

Yeah yu are right but mainly everything I’ve read said 18-24 is good for veg and I can do 24 with my cheap light. But like I said I’m just trying to see how I can grow it without all that special stuff I’d rather not buy but I’d like to get inputs just to see. My next big hope is that it’s not a male lol

Ur not wrong u can grow with 18-24 hour light cycle but u don’t have to do 24.. I’m gonna do 18 with mine, plus u’ll save more if u are looking to save..like I said I’m new as well I’m still waiting on my equipment.. where did u get ur seeds? U can buy feminized seeds so u don’t have to guess.. I shop on seedsman mainly.. also I think the ph levels in the water really matter for indoor growers too I remember u mentioning u used sink water.. which isn’t bad I think u jus need a ph kit if u want healthy plants
