Purple or nute problem? Late flower

Hi, first post for me.

I'm currently growing a few autos, they have been outdoors for most of their lives but since they weren't getting enough direct sunlight I moved them indoors under a 220w grow Northern Tels00008 led light about a week and a half ago.

Since then my blue cheese auto and one of my white widow autos (both from dinafem) started turning purple. I've grown blue cheese before and never seen it change colour like this and my other white widow auto is not turning purple..

I was hoping one of you experts could weigh in on whether it's a nute problem or it's just genetics? The colour started to appear after I put them indoors under the LED.

Pics are day 80 from seed so almost done I guess. I have no way of testing my ph. They were fed with biobizz nutes

Peace :)

That looks like just the purple. I’m currently almost finished with a photo bubba kush. Turned the same shade of purple. I kinda freaked bc my twos during the light period never dropped below 77. Lights off my box drops to 65-68. Maybe that’s where it came from?? *edit* this is also my first grow and I forgot about micro nutes. What kind of nutes are you running?

The pigment that turns plants purple is called anthocyanin, here is a quote from a article I read hope it helps:
  1. Anthocyanins serve to protect photosynthetic tissues from stress brought on by different light intensities and spectrums. Essentially, the anthocyanin acts as a sunscreen for the leaves. (It should be noted that LED lights with sophisticated spectrums could aid in increased anthocyanin production.)
