Purple spotting on leaves and some pistils

[Sourdiesel315]

Poor mans grow. Seeds from a bag. Its an outdoor grow starting to get some low 60 degree nights but its doesnt look like normal purpling to me. The plant is clearly a few weeks into flower. I have other plants that didnt purple. Just. Not entirely sure if this is normal or maybe possibly a phosphorus deficiency. I did also add a bunch of epsom salts to feed but also ward the slugs away so maybe an abundance of mag. Idk hoping someone has had the same experience and give me some insight

As im looking at this it looks black in The picture but in person its definitely Barney purple

I don't know and can't guess - but I'll tag someone who knows every little bug or critter and everything about cannabis Weed Pharma zoom in and fill us in on this please.

This is something I have not come across before and have no idea what would cause this.

It’s not genetic, is it? As in, maybe strain related?

 

[WeirdWiredWolf]

Some strains can get a bit purple with cool temps IIRC...that's what it looks like to me.

 

[Crash1518]

Increase your mag some. Some strains have purple branches but it's also cause by not having enough mag

 

[Sourdiesel315]

Its definitely not lack of Mag the purple isnt in the stems but leavea and pistils. Plus I added Epsom salts so I know its not a deficiency if anything an abundance. Thats what im hoping though that its strain related or due to cold weather. Just wasnt sure because I thought the change of color happened at later stages of flowering. This plant just got done with the flowering stretch. Thanks for all the info guys. Ive bwen keeping an eye on her and its not dying and there is no bugs so I'm guessing its a good thing haha. Might have to take clones from this one

Purple is the best! I absolutely love purple bud.

its just a pigmentation change, weve seen it here once or twice, nothing to worry about, you will have a beautiful purple plant

This purple color has been discussed before and there doesn't seem to be a good answer. For the last 2 months my one plant has this purple on every single top but as each set of leaves comes out the purple goes away and only grows on each new set of leaves. Doesn't seem to hurt anything as the plant is healthy.
Last year had the same results with bagseed, this year I'm growing Blue Dream.
I'm not gonna worry just have to wait and see what happens next!

check last weeks newsletter from GWE, at the bottom the trophy pics, there is one with that purpleing just a bit older http://archive.aweber.com/gwe-updates/NMlvx/h/_GWE_What_s_the_Cost_of.htm

Thanks hippie thats kinda how mine seems to be. Only purple on parts of the plant. I'm growing the same seeds but it seems that the purple just happened to come out of that one and not the others. It'll be nice to have a variety. Also probably a dumb question, I know that for veg you want more n than ok and the othwr way around for flower. I get how nutes work but I ran out of my flowering nutes and all I'm left with is some 13 5 4 jobes organic slow release spikes. Should I leave it be and let it go without nutrients for the last month or two or put it in anyways? It's got two options 13 5 4 or none at all for the rest of the grow?

One of my girls is going full purple...

 

[Sww]

In thinks to do with cold and mineral nutrients uptake. When it's colder it has less available of minerals like boren phosphorus rock ore nuts than carbon and decomposed like calcium and nitrogen. It's a slight mineral nute deficiency.

 

[Sourdiesel315]

Hey guys thought id let you know i found out from my buddy who used to grow that in this case it is an early stage phosphorus deficiency

Thanks for the update!

That's interesting, thanks for the update.
