Purpling sugar leaves

HappySkunkstarted grow question 6y ago

I’m seeing some of my sugar leaves turning a purple-ish colour? Is this genetics or some bad news? I hope the pictures shows it okay.

Genetics, nutrients and lights might give the purple hue to stems and leaves, also cold temperatures. On peppers/hot peppers, purple pigment is generated because light is too powerful sometimes (is a good sign) and in cannabis too, it's probably more efficient than green at that stage of growing.

Possible overfeeding nutes?Could someone possibly identify the issue on that one leaf? I had another like that a bit worse that where the edges started to curl. They were fan leaves so I ended up removing them as they were a bit worse off. Doing much better now, only guess is too much nutes.

Another round of Name That Deficiency 5 weeks into flower and this plant seems to be the problem child but she’s also the one showing the most growth. PH is 6 on her, was originally 6.2 but was having a manganese deficiency so went down to 6.0. Gave 3/4 of recommended nutrients in last feeding. Not sure what to do.

What do purple/blue marks on seedling's leaves mean I noticed some purple/blue marks on leafs of my seedling. Yesterday I left it outside for too long and it was colder than 15°C (but not colder than 10°C) for around 3 hours before I put them inside. Did that affect it?

Purpling close to harvest Hey guys just wondering is this a trait of the strain i'm growing or possibly environmental factors that causes this type of leaf colour late in flower? Just curious because maybe I stopped feeding nutes too early and I could have got more out of my plant if feed was kept up.

Catching a fade?Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.

Purple color on the leaves / FLW-Week9 Does anyone know what this purple colour on the leaf means? Yellowing is okay at this stage but I wonder whether the purpling is related to the strain or some kind of nutrient deficiency? Thank you for your help in advance! Happy growing!
