I was wondering why my little baby's new growth was turning red. I started feeding them with nutrients last night, it's just got me wondering I thought it was the P or just stress I'm not sure
Wondering why

Welcome Hillbilly,
Some more information would be needed for us to help you.
How old are they? What strain? Soil or Hydro? What nutes? If soil, what soil? Does it have nutes in it? One big mistake most people (including me) make in the beginning is too much nutes. If the soil has it in it, you may not need to feed for several weeks. When you start, it should be at 1/4 the recommended dose and work up from there.
Can you give us some pictures?
You can upload pictures at the top. Go to Gallery then upload.

Think of it as there blood supply. Like a infant we can see there blood flowing, but as that child get's older it's skin thicken's.

Are your temps stable? And what range? Hows the humidity looking?

In the day time it's mostly 70 and the lows in the 50s but I checked her this morning and her redness is fading

Could have been those low temps. Anything under 68F can be considered stress and usually won't help the plant. 68-84F is the ideal range for temps pretty much, and 40-60% humidity

I have used the 3,2,1 method myself with GH Flora series. With a plant that small be very careful with nutrients, so...what you stated you put in is 7.5ml (1 1/2 Tsp) of Flora Grow, 5ml (1 Tsp) of Flora Micro, and 2.5ml (1/2 Tsp) of Flora Bloom...that's a little too strong for a plant that size.
Try 2.5 ml of each, or 1/2 Tsp each...Also, mix the Micro in first, then Grow, then Bloom...Micro always goes in first.
And as Stealth said, that 50F light off temp is way too cold, that will make the plant purple up from stress or lack of Phosphorus being used at cold temps.
