Yeah this one is a seedling got it from some good stuff It's got a purple stem and Purple under the leaves it's real stubby and about 1 and a half weeks old.

Is that an Indica and I wonder if the purples healthy cause the plant seems to be healthy

The purple stems are probably being caused by a potassium deficiency, maybe due to ph fluctuation. Purple stems in no way indicate that you have a true purple strain. In fact, usually the purple color on purple strains doesn't come out until late in flower. Sorry.

you got some dark green droopy leaves..
you using tap water? monitoring PH? Dankness is correct though... purple leaves don't mean anything... flowering can produce purple buds and purple hued leaves around the buds, but i still don't think the leaves turn purple like that on most strains... but if you found the seed in some good, then be hopeful =)

Yeah after looking at the pics again, I can almost guarantee your ph is off. That plant is too young to need any nutrients added, so there really shouldn't be a deficiency yet unless there is some ph lockout going on. Plus, that soil looks like its from your backyard, so the chances of an unstable ph are that much higher. Get yourself a ph control kit from a local pet store and get that ph to about 6.5(slightly acidic).

Thanks for the input the only reason I wonder is cause the stems been purple since sprouting and the soil's been flushed and it's MG cactus soil and I only use water thats been sitting open for a few days
