Just wondering if purple stemmed seedlings are as susceptible to dampening off? As their stems look heartier than others. An all my seeds that pop. Stems purple within the first 24 hrs.
I dunno. Maybe a more experienced grower can help. I remember having some purple stems, but I don't remember having any issues, other than the couple dozen I killed by leaving the dome on in the sun....
