Small leaves, purple leaf stem and veins. Newer growth drooping
Second time this is happening. Plant grows beautifully until it starts to flower and then I get purple leaf stem and veins, small leaves and grow slows down. Exactly the same issue I had with my bubba kush. What's the problem ladies and gentlemen ? Temp day 25 humidity 45-50 %.

Seeing some top bud leaf discoloration
Starting 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 toxicity

Phosphorus deficiency?
Does this look like early signs of a phosphorus deficiency? I just gave her her first feeding of p/k boost last night. Should I have started that earlier?

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.

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?

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.

Deficiencia o exceso.
A qué puede deberse el aspecto de esta hoja? Las hojas están sanas y no tienen manchas de otro tipo a parte de esa decoloración. A mi me parece deficiencia de magnesio pero no estoy seguro. Gracias.

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.
