Scrumpy
Purple Leaves (not purple bunds!)
Noticed some purple patches forming. Im sure this happens every grow and I end up with a range of answers, but as I'm using some utes this time, I wondered if its more likely to be one answer over another this time. Think its phosphorous deficiency?

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?
I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

Hi Growers, my tent has recently hit some low temps at about 15 degrees lights off, I have now improved the temps by a few degrees to about 17 at lights off. Purple is showing on my stems probably caused by cold but purple also showing on the back of leaves? Should I worry?

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?

Anyone experience this issue before. Dark red discolouration on upper leaves starting near the stem side of the leaves. It seems to be effecting bud formation as my other two plants have much bushier pistle groupings.

Look At This Pigmentation!
Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding. . , , , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?Why?

Leaf discoloration
There is a purple/blue tint to the tips of my older leaves. New growth coming in lighter green. Slightly red and purples stems only at base of oldest leaves. Leaves also taco curling slightly. Thinking phosphorous deficiency at this point, maybe combination N toxicity and heat?

HOJAS MORADAS
Empezaron a ponerse moradas las hojas pero no se si será escasez de fosforo según lo que me estuve informando, o si directamente será frío. Esta en el mismo armario con otra planta y ella no se a visto como esta,entonces se escuchan las posibles soluciones !

The leaves are turning purple from the smaller stems and slowly on the larger ones. Trichnomes details above. Would she be ready to harvest in the next few days?

For a couple weeks there has been some redness in the stalk which I’ve thought nothing of. However, today the edges of some smaller sugar leaves have started to turn purple. Temperature is staying as noted above, should I be concerned?
