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?

is it cold at night? even upper 60s F can cause fall colors or augment a plant predisposed to showing red or purple leaves etc... Think this is genetics and or environmental... i'd becareful of blindly boosting p/k. you can quickly lock out other nutes. it's worth doing the math on what you feed to determine ppm of p and k in total - even for a soil grow. you don't need p much higher than 50ppm and K shouldn't be too much higher than 200ppm. now, those are soilless/hydro values... in soil it depends on numerous factors and potentially want to add less than that since plenty could exist in the soil still. either way.. if you add p/k boosting nutes and see issues start afterward, good chance it is locking things out. make a little note to use a bit less on next plant(s).

It might be strain specific. it is grand daddy purp. Also seems to only be happening at the top leaves. maybe light related as well. As long as your maintaining your EC I don't see an issue with giving some extra PK. Good Luck!

Id say thats more one of these Copper/sulfur can cause this. I'd say that's more of a late stage kinda thing pal. You'd of seen signs earlier. That looks liked about 1.5-2 wks old before even looking at diary. P def that far ahead woulfnt have a fade look to it of sorts. Your leafs would have much more degradation, I don't see any on yours, no signs of bilstering, crumbling, wrinkles nada. As plants move into early flowering certain strains need more of the things like copper and sulfur and all the little smalls. Have a look at this. It's not P. It's something as small as a little c or something. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-copper-deficiency-in-cannabis-symptoms-and-treatment-n828
