Purpling stems could be genetics.
With out pictures it’s hard to say. More than likely you have your ph a little high or low.
do you have a way to test your ph?

My ph is almost 7 it’s like 6.9. I’ve got an old soil ph meter that is like a rod you stick in the dirt. My water comes out at exactly 6.5 from the tap

I’m not saying it’s not a Deficiency. I’m saying without knowing the genetics or even the strain and knowing it’s indica it could have the trait. Cool weather helps the color but genetics play the biggest part. I also get purple stems on new growth often. Read your leaves. I really don’t pay much attention to the stem. If the plant looks healthy except for that. Like mentioned check the ph because stress and ph imbalance can cause red stems.

I’m not sure how accurate that meter is but 7.0 is high for soil. I know there are home made mixes on the site or google is your friend for PH down. You can get PH strips to test pretty cheap at anywhere they sell pool supplies. I definitely would start there.
DUDE USE BAT GIANO BRO ALOT OF IT AND ALSO TRY YSING KELP MEAL ALOT OF THAT TOO BRUH
HEY MAN READING YOUR POST BEST IDEA IS TO JUST USE ABOUT 2-3 TBS OF BAT GUANA AND ALSO SAME AMOUNT IF KELP MEAL INTO YOUR SOIL AND THEN FEED STRAINGHT PHED WATER ACTUALLY MAKE IT A LITTLE EXTRA ACIDIC TO CHEW THE STUFF UP AND THEN USE PLAIN WATER AND TRUST ME YOUR PLANTS WILL RECOVER THESE ARE RESILLIENT LITTLE BEASTS YOU ARE GROWING AND THEY LIKE GUANA ALOT TRUST ME

Not the way you want it to. I believe lemon juice can be used. It also cost more than ph down.

I think 7 is fine for soil. You can get make cal/mag with eggshells and epsom salt but you'll be better off just buying a jug. Use vinegar to bring your PH down, but I'd guess it's not your soil. Indoor plants need extra cal/mag. Lets see some pics!
Edit: OOps lol they look great. Praying! Can we see the cal/mag deficiency leaves?

Here’s the pics. The second picture i had a question about. I didn’t top that and it shot out two heads all on its own and produced a 13 leaf fan leaf that almost made a complete circle. Is this a mutation and how long till i see buds

Manganese and Iron are both needed. If you are at 7 and your soil adjust itself to 7.2 then you are causing more issues.

Patience my friend. Enjoy the process. Every plant is unique.
bud development is dependent on light ( your plant needs energy to produce flowers) and also on strain. You have a sativa dom pheno so it will be a little longer flowering process.
my plants were flipped about a week ago and here is what they look like

I vote cal/mag deficiency. Crack the wallet and get a jug, you'll thank you later.
PH naturally wants to rise I think. If you see your PH slowly going up, I'd add 2tsp of vinegar to every gallon of water you mix just to keep it stable but I think you just have a cal/mag lack not a nute uptake problem.
I agree with Silver, you really can't tell how much you're gonna get off a plant until it's about grown out. You can plan the tops though and guarantee you'll get more based on the structure of the plant.

Hydro if his soil is at 7 still this far into the grow and his water is at 6.5 I'm guessing he's got pretty stable PH environment. I'd say those plants are suffering from new/budget grow pains. Cal mag is always a afterthought right?
People often use different time frames for when the "flip" is. I get results like what Silverfox is getting on the right of his room after a week of 12/12, not the front left. That's more like 3-4 weeks into it for me. Maybe I missed something TNG (common) did you flip these plants already?

Could it be generations upon generations of cloning from clones from an original mother plant
