Purple leaves?

One plant in the tent went from bright green to this dark purple and the leaves that changed are going from green to purple and sometimes orange and shriveled at the tips and die. Please advise. See pic below. Thanks

It's nothing to worry about. ;)

I've had one plant in about 60-65 plants do that outdoors before and it was the only one that went that color.

Here she is. :)

When the temps get cold phosphorus becomes immobile with some strains and will turn purple. If you have ever run across a plant that has a yellowish birthmark on one or two of the leaves it's a sign of a purple plant. I've only run across 3 of them out of a handful of seeds, tastes like grape candy. .Couch-lock stuff😎

It's not uncommon for plants to do that in the last few weeks of it's life cycle, especially when encountering cooler then ideal temps. It's hard to tell because your pictures focused on the affected leaves but what I could see of the buds in the one picture it looked like your plants were almost finished with the flowering phase and nearing harvest.

Thanks guys. She’s not showing any signs of having problems either so that all makes sense. Good observation hemp Kat, about two weeks left.

Yeah if she's just two weeks away the changing of the leaves is perfectly normal, especially if you've been cutting back on nutrients in preparation for harvest as growers typically do in the last 2-3 weeks.
