Deficiency or Change to Purple?started using the new “Purpinator“by Terpinator. Used Terp for a time and I trust the brand. That being said I have a weird thing popping up on my Dos Si Dos. Can’t tell if this is the switch finally happening or a Deficiency. Never seen a purple color show up for Deficiency.Leaves. Color - Dark-purple

2 part question about harvest and flushing. I read that if most leaves around buds are turning color (purple in my case) you need to harvest soon before plant dies, is that accurate? If so my runoff is still the color of an ale after 3 weeks of flushing, is that normal or bad?Week 15

Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared.
Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.2y ago

N tox in full swing. Lowered feeding from 1 Tsp to 3/4 Tsp Cal/Mag, and Grow/Micro from 1/2 Tsp each to 1/4 Tsp each. Hoping this helps correct.
Is it possible that overwatering also contributed to excessive N uptake? I let the coco dry out a lot more (~4 days) this time.Week 4

Seeing some top bud leaf discolorationStarting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves.
Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves.
Could it be signs of anything else?
Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity6y ago
