DIY earthboxes and purple stems. Help needed from experienced container people!

Tomatovator · March 31, 2007

I planted 2 toms in DIY earthboxes a little over a week ago. I posted pictures of them in the general discussion section at that time. The plants looked great at first but now are turning purple. It is still on the cool side here 50's to 60's but last week was very sunny. I put the boxes in full sun every morning and bring them inside at night to keep the soil temperature up. I've sprayed them a few times with kelp extract (Bonide). Is there anything else I should try to get them all green again?
