That's pretty damn funny! I think the alignment of the stars & planets might also have something to do with it, but I've yet to draw any real conclusions from that theory...during those moments I'm usually too busy getting bitched at to pull my telescope out of the attic. Thanks for the clarification about the gender of Stinky by the way...

And pudder: the plant that you've shown in the picture looks fine to me, as well. The stems on my plants also do that on a pretty frequent basis, and I don't exactly skimp on the nitrogen. So just be careful not to go overboard with a fertilizer based on that feature alone. Sometimes it's simply genetics that cause the stem to turn red/purple. I'm sure it'll change back to a light green color after it has had some more time to grow.

And definitely take Opie's advice about your nutrient regimen. Your plants are very young, and those fertilizers are powerful. They can kill your plants very quickly if added too much, too soon.
