In my opinion this is a huge topic lol and there are so many variables that mean so many different things. It can be normal and it can be abnormal but let's start off by asking you this. What is the strain , temperature, growing medium,lighting,ph, what are you feeding/not feeding ,how often? These are at least a good place to start.

If it looks healthy don't worry.
Bad purple and red come with a sickly looking plant.
A pic would really help.

I literally bought nothing for this just germinated some bagseed and have seven plants of unknown gender. Under just 3 cfls but already lsted to be very close and all int the sweet spit of the bulbs. Cant upload pics from my phone to this site and can't download apps atm. But they're just in garden soil I got off my grand pa and getting a tomato nutrient he had thats about a 1-1-2 at the proportion in feeding it to them. Plan to get less and make this a legit grow after another week or so of this spur of the moment setup

Purpling is only on one or two and the plants are growing healthy and vigorously otherwise

It's probably nothing but strain related.

You will burn it up.
It doesn't need food at a week and a half. You don't need to feed until those first round leaves shrivel and die off.
Garden soil? It probably has time release ferts in it.
Double check and make sure. Stop feeding for now.

They're growing fast and healthy otherwise are you sure I should stop? Like I said only two have any purple but if you say to wait until those lil round leaves fall off, about when does that happen?

its unfertilized atleast its just soil thats been through many cycles of growing tomatoes over the years (thats all he grew) some composting but nothing like miracle gro or anything.

I
f it was strain related in bagseed wouldnt they all have it instead of just two?

Oh. OK. Good stuff then. No need to feed either way for a while.

Children look different.
The only way they would be the same would be first generation hybrid or a stable line that has been bred true over many generations.

Would you guys say an mh or hps light is a better route for a 3' by 4' about 3' tall.
Or would 8 32watt cfls with a couple 25watt all red (for flowering) led panels yeild more bud?

so I could end up growing different strains out of the same bagseed?

Yes. Wildly different. One could be a 12 week sativa and the other an 8 week indica. Its called phenotype.
You need to take the time to read up on the sticky thread in the new and indoor and general growing sections.
There is a search feature on the site to.
Some people will give you crap over asking a million questions instead of reading.
Most any question has already been covered.

yeah I apologize in advance for that lol.
I've read up alot but thats somethin I just never came across , I mean I've heard phenotype and genotype used but they were never central to what's I was readin about so I didn't look them up. Is it at all possible for one to en up having ruderalis in it? (being an auto flowering strain) there's one thats growing its 3rd set and they're comin pot looking like just the things you see when you look for female sex parts.. Its weird, wish I could upload pics from my phone
