We are looking to hear your expert opinion about our tomato plants turning purple right after germination. Let us know how we can improve our homestead farm.
I've found that colder temps cause that on mine….it's a sign of stress. Another thought is that the feeder roots haven't established as well with soil fungi to bring them more phosphorus…either can be true or both…lol!
Lots of reasons. I find intense light in grow rooms while young, intake of nutrients in colder grow areas, and possibly just the variety they are but these are just a few items in a long list of reasons but you know they will be fine.

It is a phosphorus deficiency by cold soil which hinders the plant uptake
A phosphorus deficiency and the cold soil.
