Purple Stem Question? W/ Pictures

[tcgtbs07]

I am 16 days into flowering and I noticed that the stem of my plants are turning purple, I've read that sometimes it's genetics and sometimes it's lack of nutrients. I am using aeroponics grow method. I used flora grow for veg state and I recently went to flora bloom for flowering. PH is always around 5.8-6.2 and my resevoir is at 800PPM. I'm using about 10,000 lumens with CFL's for now only 3 plants. It's suppose to be a sour diesel strain. Thanks for any input.

Perfectly lovely. Pic 3 is the best and looks great. That little bit of purple is barely a blush and you leaves look very healthy. When temps stay at around 70 most will show slight signs of purple. As long as the leaves and nice buds are coming along you have nothing to worry about. At about week 4 don't worry if some of the old leaves start to yellow. Only worry when you lose new leaves.

Yes sir Loc starting first in the undergrowth. I normally remove leaves once they get to the point that you know thy are not coming back that way plant doesnt waste energy trying to fix something that cant be fixed.
