Yea, it is normal during flowering for leaves to turn yellow and droop. Purple stems are almost always a sign of some type of stress like temp fluctuations, Some growers have never had a grow where stems don't turn purple from the beginning to the end.
I am pretty sure that N def yellows fro the bottom up. I've never had the problem with a nitrogen def starting from the top. It has to do with the way the plant moves nutrients, but neva know.
Don't want to freak you out or nothing, but best guess (IMO) if there was a problem, would be a nute burn or lockout of some sort, but if you notice the leaves yellowing at the top are the older leaves, which yellow first!! Looks like a natural reaction!!
Your 5 weeks in, unless almost half or more leaves do this very quickly you should be fine. Otherwise look into changing something, water schedule, amount of nutes etc.
