Purple is a sign of too cold. Nitrogen deficiency starts at bottom turning leaves yellow to top. If leaves are yellow on canopy and not rest then it is light stress. Plus .004 is really light on water. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

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!

What's going on with my clones? Do not have much information to add. VPD is not terribly off, DLI around 25.
What's going on with these clones? Not sure what it could be. They could possibly be rootbound. They should have been transplanted a few weeks ago but I did not have the space.

This is very bad. I need help. I have two autos. Both got the same nutrients and light schedule and pest spray. One is getting worse. I don’t know what to do, see the progression

Curling leaves with purple tinge
Had to leave plants for four days. Watered with 1L of water before I left. Arrived to 31c temps and leaves curling with a purple tinge to older leaves. Assuming heat stress mixed with overwatering. Thoughts?

What’s this dark coloring?
One leaf, well on fact just one finger has this darkish coloring. It doesn’t look to different from typical end of life leaf coloring it’s just exceptionally dark. It’s the only stress sign and it looks fine from below. It also feels healthy. Not limp, not dry. Anything to worry?

Discoloration and Spots
I'm still not sure if this is a deficiency or some sort of burn. It's definitely spreading a bit more, and I'm unsure if there's time left to address it in the grow. Video of full plant in week.

All my plants have purple stems on the leaves at this point. They look totally healthy besides that. Not sure how to resolve the issue or if it is not even big deal. Just don’t want to negatively impact yield. Any advice?
