If it is a severe purple it is magnesium deficiency. In your case it appears as part of plant growth. Usually close to flowering they get some lines in them. Is nothing to worry about.

Simply put, cannabis can turn purple due to high quantities of a compound known as âanthocyaninsâ. ... Anthocyanins are a water-soluble compound which is present in some cannabis strains. The compound can turn the cannabis leaves and buds into a variety of purples and blues which may even appear dark green and black.

Deficiencies? Brown spots, yellowing and purple stemsWhat is this deficiency or maybe toxicity and whats the solution? She is fed with biobizz chart instructions but with every other watering. She is big so I'm guessing I should water with nutes every time? She showed this first week into flowering.5y ago

Purp stalks, weak leaves.Hey guys i noticed that my stalks were all turning purple and my leaves are curling. Is this a nute lock out ? Or is it light burn ?

My plant is twisting itself..Woke up this morning to find my plant dancing to "Twist Again".
Is this due to airflow setup inside the tent? Perhaps the lighting's intensity?

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?5y ago
