Please post pics under regular light.
Tell us more about your grow: grow media, nutes, ppm/ec, ph, RH, temps, lights. More info is better.

Yup. Looks like normal blurple light. If the plant has purpling try taking photos in normal light.

Tried with a flashlight as you can see a little but I'll try before lights out to get a better pic

Turn off your lights. Turn on your flash on your camera and take a picture.

I get purple leaves all the time, sometimes even in veg. My basement is literally 61f or less year round.
I run UV and IR, and it seems to give them a purple sun tan when combined with the cold nights.
Some strains literally have purple areas and green "shadows" others show it between the veins on the leaves.
My sugar candy starts getting purple between the veins in veg sometimes!
Attached is week 5 of flower, and week 7 of flower for sugar candy. This happens every time. Gets more purple with every day. I can't get a good image of week 9 as it's too large. But very purple....
My lemon amnesia gets "blotchy" purple like you're getting. Both are fine.

Didn't wanna download an editing app to reduce file size etc. I just cropped.
Week 9 of the same clones, 60f basement, UV+IR+blurple

Here's a lemon amnesia which gets "blotchy" purple.
Ignore the clawed leaves ....

Lol I would've said N toxicity, but yellow leaves?

Happens to the lemon in early flower really easily. I have been flushing it, hence the yellowing.
In veg, they are always the darkest plants.
I usually water to heavy runoff in small airpots, so I was probably overfeeding in this ~5gal planter.

What do you feed?

A Jack's classic (soil) 3-2-1/dynamic duo hybrid.
It's like 3-2-1.
Veg: 3 parts all purpose, 2 parts tomato feed, 1 part epsom salt.
Flower: 3 parts blossom booster, 2 parts tomato feed, 1 part epsom salt.
Combined to about 1/2tsp per gal overall.

Is the tomato feed an all purpose also? Or just calnit?

I have done small plants start to finish with only tomato feed. It's blue salt just like their other stuff. It's just the only one that advertised calcium.
I read somewhere that tomato feed is *wink wink* for cannabis. So some people were saying this was the "modern" dynamic-duo.
The dynamic duo to my understanding is to vary the ratios of blossom booster and all purpose. The tomato feed is a newer product IIRC.
But I decided to just keep the tomato feed as a constant, and drop the all purpose (20-20-20) and switch to the blossom booster (10-30-20) for flower.
So I figure calmag is covered by the Epsom salt and tomato feed, though I don't monitor PPMs.
The clawed lemon plant likely had salt buildup in the huge pot, on top of frequently showing N toxicity in smaller pots.
Zkittlez and sugar candy love my schedule though.

Interesting. I've not heard of that. I'll have to give it a try sometime. So your soil? Or coco or peat or combos?
