thanks ya i got them under 2 2ft t5 right now hope they are true got the seeds from king chile on the train
 
alright yea i think i see a light shade on the other primos seedlings i got aswell so that what it is most likely
 
okay i had them going 24fhrs a day but switched it the other day to 18 6 new growth is looking green ill report back.
 
This is common, it happened to some of my seedlings last year. I had a 5 cfl setup and a few seedlings were too close to the bulbs, they grew fine. I just moved the lights further away.
 
Strange that the light intensity would make them darker... You'd think it would pale them out. I wonder where the purple pigmentation comes from.
