Does my plant even seem like a real MJ plant?

Hi, this is my first grow (from bagseed). I have one plant about a week old. She has 3 sets of leaves counting the original ones but none of them are serrated and the undersides have a dark purple hue and the stem is somewhat reddish. I have it in American Seed Seed Starter Mix-Sphagnum peat,horticultual vermiculite,perlite,wetting agent and lime for PH balance, under a 150watt cfl(within 2 inches). I had a lot more seeds planted but only the one sprouted(due to me-I tried prying the shells off after they failed to germinate quickly, and I think I F-ed them up). I plan on spending money on good seeds but I'm gonna wait until after my live and learn some first grow is done. I know I should have pics posted, I'll try to get them on later, I had to take them with my cell and I live in the boonies where I don't get good service so my phone won't send them to the computer right now.

Well at least you'll find out what you've been smoking. But seriously, I have also killed a lot of seedlings by touching them when they were just surfacing, but at least you didn't kill quality seeds like I did.

You can definitely get a purple underside of your leaves with cannabis.
I've been trying to take pics of some seedlings that have that trait but my camera won't focus that close, piece of junk.

Thanks Stinkyattic, I haven't read much about the purple undersides on the boards and was worried it was a nute/light/water problem

Like the part about prying the shells off when they didn't pop fast enough. Wouldn't have thought of that myself.

I've "helped" them off before if they've been sprouted for longer than a day and havent shed themselves.

the purple underside may happen regardless, like stinky said its a trait, (a part of the genetics) the first set of leaves called cotyledons are ALWAYS rounded, the next ones should be serrated... good luck

It can express easier when the temps are low, just like forcing the purple bud color on strains that are not normally purple.
