An excellent source for growing methods-free-for nearly every vegetable and many flowers is the Stokes Catalogue. I have been getting a hardcopy of the catalogue for nearly 30 years and their information, while sometimes more technical than I need, is always good science. Stokes taught me to germinate tomatoes, peppers, eggplants warm and then immediately grow on cool which, with adequate light, results in fat seedlings. I have found that purple coloring of the stems is more a fertility issue because unless the light, temp and pH is in balance, the seedlings can't access the available fertility. Sometimes the stunted purple color also indicates too much compost in the potting mix. A tomato trick...if the seedlings are stretching, cut them back and root the cuttings. The cutting usually roots in a week or ten days and provides a back-up crop if you need them.
