why is it purple?

my plants are underway, both stand 3 inches, and look great!

set up...
2 -26watt cfls
1 fan
small bowl of watter
everything consealed in a 1' x 1.3' box

temp stays aroung 80 degreese

here is the thing on of the plants have leaves that are outlined in purple. is that bad?

its that purp its that purp

no i dunno i always heard purple was a sign of nitrogen deficiency but i dont know for sure

Because it cant breath, give it mouth to mouth....

What does the temp drop to at night, it could just be the strain...

I to have a purple plant. The bud and the leaves turned purple. and i have it outside...The mother plant where i got the seeds from wasnt purple Could it be the weather?..

Cold night time temps........

my powerplant has been known to do the very same thing! alot of the petioles are purple too (petiole=stem on leaf) along w/ some of the outlined leaves. it might be a trait, or it might be the temp difference - i know purple is commonly sourced from being cold @ night during flower - but ive seen purple petioles / outlines during veg too. the petioles are not a sign of deficiency cus my plants are as healthy as they could ever possibly be, but the outlined leaves i dunno. id like to know exactly why it turns purple though.
