Looks fine to me. The new growth should be a bit lighter green when switching to flowering formula. I don't see any non-green other than lighting.

i think she's a bit on the dark side, which can be due to overfeeding, however it can also be the genetics of the plant itself. the question is how much did you feed her? If there's no nutrient-burn (the tips get brownish) then it can be the strain itself. I personally also can't use the instructions on the label of most nutrient-manufacturers, as this would be quite too much for my plants, but i prefer measuring the EC myself, and then never go higher than 1.6 when it's a bigger plant.. with smaller plants i usually try to stay around the 1.2 mS mark, however measuring the runoff (or the reservoir like in my case) should give you a clear indication on whether it's been too much or too little, or just perfect. The way this works is this way: You measure the EC of what you feed her (i.e. 1.2 mS) and then measure the run-off.. if the run-off is lower than 1.2 it means the plant used up more nutrients than water and you can LIGHTLY increase the amount of nutrients. If the EC is higher than what you put in, this means you overfed and you should lower the amount of nutrients. If it stays the same, then you have found the right spot of water and nutrient consumption for this plant in this state at this given time. happy growing!

Your leaves are turning purple from the bottom up, but going dark green first. Since you just fed bloom nutes, which are low in N but high in P and K, you may have created a nitrogen deficiency (bloom nutes compete with nitrogen) by giving it too much bloom nutes too early (your plant is transitioning so N should still be high). This could be just from nute imbalance and deficiency, or that with or without the nutes throwing ph off and interfering with nutrient uptake. Step 1 is check your ph. You're going to have flush next anyway, but its useful to know first what your current soil ph is (I'm assuming you're growing in soil) so you know whether or not the ph is off - if the ph is ok, its simply too much bloom too soon, or you have a magnesium deficiency and, after a nute feed, its probably from ph being off. Nitrogen deficiency can also cause dark green leaves as an early symtpyom. After flush, correct any ph problem first. Then you need to correct the deficiencies. It looks like nitrogen or magnesium so far causing the dark green leaves and phosphorous causing the purple leaves. Most likely because the ph of your feed was off, or you fed them too much bloom too soon and caused a nute lockout. Though for both, you flush first. Any nutes added after that should be done gradually and in lower doses with the water ph'd before you feed.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Is she into flowering yet.. U shudnt b giving her any bloom nutes until u see flowers forming.. If she has started(bit hard to tell from photo) its because she's an auto n sumthin has probably shocked her or she's just ready to flower (she seems bit small atm to start to flip tbh).. I wud flush her wit plain ph6 water wen medium drys out a but then let her pot almost dry again then feed her with a nitrogen (grow) based feed.. Stay safe n gud luck with her.. 👍🍀

If you overfeed, I would proceed as follows. Best if you have osmosis water and mix the stale water for 24 hours (after 24 hours the chlorine has evaporated somewhat) to an Ec value of 0.2. Then add Cal / Mag until the Ec is 0.4. This is your source of water, so you can flush. At the next pour, start with a quarter of the feed dose.

Hey buddy :-) It's beautiful 😍🌱 but pretty dark. You have probably fed too much :-). I would recommend the following.
