It looks like a definite nitrogen deficiency... if you had linked this question with a diary, we would be in a better position to advise you but on the surface, you need to definitely add nitrogen!

Only one plant has these very purple stems. It’s almost every large fan leaf. I’ve read that it’s a nutrient buildup or something? I don’t PH my water which I know is bad but any guesses on what is going on?

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.

Leaves with purple edges normal?
Leaves are now changing to purple edges and know that some strains just have different coloured leaves, but this has just happened later on now she's under the light inside and couldnt find any pics of super skunk with purple-ish like leaves. Normal? Stupid question probably!

Leaf diagnosis required
green love potion almost a full 5wks into flower and today I noticed some rusty spots on a few fan leaves as well as purpling at the tips. The only leaves affected so far are the one pictured and they are near the bottom of the main cola, is this anything to worry about?

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.

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?
What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors? I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐
