Tips of fan leaves turning purple

[Safe Gardener]

Hi guys and gals. Anyone have any thoughts on these fan leaves? Plant is 33 days in flower.

To be honest I haven’t been monitoring temps this round but I’d be surprised if they are getting below 65f during light out. I’ll get a thermometer/hydrometer in there tonight.

I had to translate that one. But light being too close is a definite possibility. The light I’m using for this round is slightly more powerful. 50 watts of LED sq/ft where I was closer to 40 watts LED sq/ft before. Also this round of flower the light is probably 6” closer to the canopy.

Some googling suggested a phosphorus deficiency due to lack of drainage. Could cause purpling of leaves. I’m give the soil a good flush with the next watering.

If it’s lack of drainage I wouldn’t flush- they may be waterlogged if they’re not draining.
Maybe try repotting or raising pots slightly off the ground to allow them to drain better?
I’m guessing they’re in soil?

I'm thinking P, but something is rattling around in my head. If it drops out, I will pop back.

Flushing might still be the wrong idea, but I didn’t want to do it because of lack of drainage. More because of my lack of watering. I frequently let my plants dry out to the point of wilting. Not as a growing technique (though I do think stressing the plant can tell you a good bit about it) but as I get busy and they are down on the priority list. I was thinking a hearty watering might clean them out a bit? Right now I’m watering about 2/3-3/4 gallon every few days.
