I've read that red or purple stems and/or foliage means theres a lack of Phosphorus I think it was.

I'm no expert.. but I kinda think that's accurate inlater stages,... but these are sprouts, all in the same hydro setup,and they are all getting the same thing, which is fresh water,...

It's common for seedlings and young plants to have red or purple stems.
