Is it a deficiency? Or what do you think?

No worries, this is not a deficiency. This is a plant pigment called "anthocyanins" that is found in many types of fruit (apple, blueberry, etc.) and is also present in our beloved cannabis plant. At least in many current strains. The lady is outside, I assume!? Because cold is one of the main triggers for the purpling of plants.
Light can also promote coloring (I’ve had purpling encouraged with violet LED light, which didn’t happen with the same genetics under different lighting).
However, there are now also several genetics that have been bred for this and can also show purpling under "normal" conditions.
I hope that helps you a bit... by the way, the lady looks magnificent!
keep growing👍

Looks like anthocyanin is being produced from cold night temps, which starts turning the leafs purple beginning from the outside.

Hard to say without any background information or diary to examine.
I see you’re growing outdoors. Leaves turning purple is a sign that night time temperatures get a a bit cool. So if night time temps in Germany have been cool these past few days I would consider that to be the culprit for purple leaves. In the grand scheme of things purple leaves due to cool temperatures don’t pose a threat to the plant and isn’t a thing to overly worry about.
It could also be a strain that has a predisposed tendency to turn purple.
That’s what I think. Let’s see what other growers have to say.
