few of my seedlings' stems look a little red, purple, or brown. I dont know I cant really tell lol. I bought me a moisture meter yesterday and tested those babies and they were very dry. So yesterday is probably one of the first days they had a full system of water. The leaves though, look very nice?

And I want to switch from miracle gro to the sta-green I have now. My plants are in some cups and the soil is a little wet, what would be the best way to put them into new cups or bigger containers? If you dont understand what I asked I mean is it ok to mix what little bit of MG is on there with the Sta-Green soil from Lowes?

I heard that purple stems mean that the grow invironment it to hot or to cold. I'm not sure if that's true though, a few of my started that way and they look fine now.

I had purple stems and leaves on the plant that I just grew. I was told that when the plant is like that it has medicinal value. That it is a better plant. I have to tell you the buzz is out of this world. You feel it from your head to your toes.
