Do you have air movement? Just my first thought.

blow the fan on the plants to strenthen their stem, this natrually occurs outside because of wind

you need to have a circular fan, the vibration in the stem that occur from air movement strengthen your stems so they will be able to hold the bud when they are heavier.

I dont think he's talkin about the STALK stem. I think he means the LEAF stems themselves.? the leafs look fine but are drooping down right Purple? Thats a result of over or underwatering. Shouldn't be hard to figure out which it is.
He said "A clone", and he said "stems are"

Not a problem the fan will fix. What kind of nutes r u useing? Do you need to water more?

Wish I had a good answer. Good luck.

After looking at the pics, I stand by what I said. To much water, which actually means not enough oxygen to the roots, and the leaves are heavy/waterlogged. It'll droop like that if its way to dry too.
