Is it supposed to turn purple? Some strains do.

If not I'd say you're getting a P lockout (it's been a while the mind is rusty) due to overly cold temps on the roots. This time of year it wouldnt surprise me.

She's still throwin white pistils, don't wanna jump the gun! Keep in mind you got a flush period to factor in :) good luck

u can get that lock out from cold roots??
from my studies and experience I've learned this:

Its definitely a possibility, if the roots get too cold during your night cycle it can cause your roots issues in the uptake of P or lockout and that can cause the leaves to turn purple in some cases signaling a P -

If that's not the case cold temps around the roots can make this worse

But again that's if the strain isn't known to do this. Some strains just turn purple. Maybe check with whoever got you the genetics? However if your getting the same issue on different strains or on a plant sitting in the same spot in a room it could definitely be cause of temps. Or root temps.

Hope this helped! Respect and good luck :)

if you are growing hydo my expeeience and from studies, books etc when temps in the reservoir get below 60degs you will notice slowed growth and start seein some defenciencies but thats also dependent on how sensitive the strain is as well. as a rule of thumb temps should be bw 60-72deg for optimal growth

A foliar spray will help.
