I always start my tomatoe plants from seed. I have a greenhouse. About a week ago the tomatoe plants started to turn purple. I have fertilized with a fish emulsion. What would cause them to do that?

I found this answer about tomato leaves turning purple....

When tomato leaves get too purple it is a sign of phosphorus deficiency. Try adding sea kelp to your water.
I have noticed that this tends to happen in seedlings that I buy from the garden centre and then leave too long in the cellpacks which indicates to me that they require more root space and that's why they're getting so deficient in nutrients. Possibly also drying out too much because of the lack of root space.
