Anthocyanin is heavily studied, its linked to stress and has many causes, injury, nutrients, temperature, light intensity, oxygen scavaging, salt stress and drought to name the most common.
The context of the purpling again is complex, is it localized to a specific area, is it on the upper or lower leaf surfaces, the stems, has it just happened or has it been there since germination, new growth or old and so on.
Despite popular belief purple weed is not desirable, it adds nothing to the potency or smoke unlike it does a wine growers grapes where stress can enhance the final character and taste.
Too much magnesium is not good, a foliar feed migh negate the need for toxifying a good soil/res but thats assuming your nutrients dont already contain it. Not required in great amonts id certainly want to measure the ppm rather than trusting a spoonfull per bucket of water and even then i would just buy a complete fertilizer and save the hassle.
Nothing clears up purpling apart from getting everything spot on, green plants are more efficient than purple plants. If you bent a stem you might see some but only where and possibly above the damaged area is.
