Normal or Nah... My first flowering plant changing colour?

Hi folks,
This lady is Red. She's a Bloody Skunk Auto seed, planted in coco coir and perlite, in an outdoor greenhouse with no added heating or lighting.
She was popped into the ground 67 days ago (just under 10 weeks). She is part of my first ever grow (the others aren't flowering fully yet).

She has been flowering for about 3 weeks now and today I noticed a big change from yesterday.
Her leaves are starting to turn purple-ish at the edges and ... shrivel (?) a bit.
Now, the pictures of this plant on the seedbank website show purpleish leaves so I actually thought they would turn much earlier. So I'm now afraid that there is something going wrong, rather it than a natural change as she flowers more.
I'm not adding any nutrients other than a little seaweed powder at this stage, watering until run off, and doing my best whilst learning a ton!

All thoughts are welcome.
Seed type: Herbies Bloody Skunky Auto Seeds

Your just bragging..... it looks fantastic.

Not sure of the genetics. But color temperatures also bring out colors.

Really?
Honestly not even close to bragging as I made mistakes for such and they are such tiny plants in comparision to the pictures of some grown in grow rooms by the pros. I loving the process but know that my results are definitely sub par, probably even for a beginner.

I'm just releaved that you don't think she has some kind of disease or fungus!

Don't beat yourself up on size. Considering your new to this, and you end up with something to smoke its a success. Once you get some successful grows under your belt then beat yourself up. And in all honesty growing smaller plants when starting is the best way to learn. When you start scaling up is when you start running into larger problems. And you don't want to waste a full run/ production just because your learning and get overwhelmed.

Thank you!
I planted 5 seeds at the same time for my first grow, thinking maybe only 2 or 3 would get past germination.
4 of them are now flowering or preflower so I'm proud with all I've learnt getting them this far (though one of them is a complete wild card. I thought she got nutrient lockout as a seedling but then she suddenly started growing again and is doing well but has split herself in really odd ways!)

I figured if I ended up with even one of them producing something I could smoke at the end that it would be a massive success.
I guess conversely, the more I've learnt the more mistakes I see I've made and I see how well it could have been done.

Gotta remind myself it's my first time.

Plus I really enjoy the gardening aspect of it too so it's a good hobby if nothing else.

Its a lot of fun growing. But if your like me, you end up getting a little burnt out eventually. If your only growing outside and in a location with seasons then you'll probably be ok. I myself do outside summer runs, then another run in a tent inside during winter. Ive come to the point where I try to automate everything I can.

That's when things can slide though imo there's only so much you can automate before something is gonna give hell I still prefer hand watering for this very reason sure I could set up a system to water em but then your paying less attention to them each day like if you got bugs for example you wanna know it sooner rather than later

Agreed. I'm still very much hands on though. Just like being able to forget sometimes.
