Purpling new growth tips and upper leaves in Veg

Hey everyone so I’m noticing some purpling on the new growth of my Milkbone f3, it’s still in veg like 7 weeks or so and temps never go low enough for it to purple because of low temps.Wanted to reach out and ask y’all what you guys think?

Don’t necessarily always need cold temps to bring out purple. I’ve had some strains go super purple on me late in veg at 75 degrees.

Is it all over or just certain areas? Possibility cold spots from a fan or intake?

really only thing I can think of would be cooler temps or a phosphorus/mag deficiency

are you using cal mag?

Could always just be your strain and it is what it is

I have a Hindu Kush that gets so purple it's almost black when it's done. Even has red sap in spots. I thought I'd nipped myself with the Fiskars when I saw a little 'blood' on the blade. lol

Why is purple bad? I've got a couple tops purple on the new growth. I thought it was a fungus but it isn't

Purpling is a desired trait for many tho it doesn't mean the pot produced is any better than ones that don't go purple. Just has bag appeal.

Thanks!
I just remember it being pretty desirable back when I used to be in the sales department LOL

Hey guys so I found it to be that the purpling was due to watering it too much and not letting the medium dry out. Hence the roots where looking nasty, I had to repot it. Purple is unusual when it’s during veg state.

Hmmmm interesting
