Catching a fade?

Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.

A fade is a controlled deficiency.. an intentionally caused deficiency. It is relatively inconsequential as long as it has "enough" to make it to harvest date. Starving a plant that is otherwise healthy has no impact on mineral contentn of flower mass -- this is fact, not opinion. we have the equipemnt to measure such things accurately and have done so repeatedly. i would suggest only causing such a thing when there is a visible toxicity occuring, which is the typical cause for a flush or reducing fertilizer given. purple late in flower could be genetics.. could be sub-68F temps at night.. could be a combination of both. If not temperature related, can be unavoidable. Some plants simply will do it at end of life - exotic colors.

Slight nitrogen overdose while also being hungry for Phosphorous and Potassium. Up or add a P/K booster and reduce anything that is providing nitrogen. Too much nitrogen during flowering will promote excessive leaf growth at the expense of flower growth. Being this close to harvest, there is probably too little time left to affect any real change.

If its not down to genetics It's a minor phosphorus deficiency which is completely fine and normal when happening in late stages of flower due to the now larger buds pulling it all out of the leaves. I suppose its prefrence so f you don't want it you can increase P slightly, if not don't worry and let it add to the colour of those babies. Good luck 👌🏼
