Cold can do this? weird. I learn something new every day.

None the less as a precaution I sprayed my plants with fungicide. In that greenhouse it was probably a good preventative measure anyway.
Yes cold will do this. When the temps warm up to 60 and 70 at night the purple will go away.

Like dice said at cooler temps they cant take up phosphorus.
Eggplant is worse than tomatoes for it.
I have put out many purple plants and like I said as soon as it warmed up they shot up like rockets.
