Hey y’all is this a potassium deficiency?

kind of a new grower only have about 4 or 5 grows under my belt. I’m having purpling issues (maybe?) on my 6 week old Hindu Kush, feeding with compost tea, growing in living soil and it’s a photoperiod. Thanks in advance for any help.

Beautiful plants!! They look pretty healthy to me.
Hmm purpling leaves I don't know anything about it. Maybe too much nitrogen but i only know that the leaves get darker green or can even go almost black but not sure about purple.
The worse problem here are the light stress, green leaves and tips. Lights are too intense or placed too close. Put lights little higher around 30" away, stick back on the compost tea(to lower nitrogen) and feed a little calmag and see how they respond.
Do you let you the soil dry out or keep it wet?
You can also post your setup: lights, temps, pots, water feed, etc. Much easier for us to determine issues.
Hope It helps further but wait for others to get their juice as well, i'm a padawan.
 
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
2. How old are your plants?
3. How tall are your plants?
4. What type of hydro system are you using?
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using?
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution?
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water?
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution?
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution?
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check?
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
14. How close are your lights to the plants?
15. What size is your grow space in square feet?
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
18. How much experience do you have growing?

Something like this will help immensely.....

Also, pictures......I see you have 2 up.....

Maybe a couple different ones also.....

Hope this helps.....

Added molasses to my compost tea mix. Looks like my HK is starting to clear up! Also gave her a trim. Switching to 12/12 by the end of the week!✌️

i would guess too much light, overwatering, and humidity too low.
