Redlining (literally) at flowering stage

I'm coming up on the end of my first grow and I've encountered a ton of issues, but I've most been able to identify them, and either fix it or learn from it.
However I'm noticing that as each plant goes into the flowering stage, I see these reddish-purple lines appearing on them in places.

Is this normal?
I grew 6 different strains and they've all developed them. Greenhouse grow in Coco coir.
Thanks!

sometimes it's natural and sometimes it a "nutrient issue" for ref look up "red stalks" "a lack of Phosphorus, magnesium or iron contributes to red stalks". In your case it's Phosphorus no effect on yields or taste

I do drain to waste coco I think thats what you do too. In soil its different but I can say in dtw coco thats just plant suntan lotion. Not so good in veg with my clones but just fine in flower. From heavy lighting. In your case the sun if its a green house I think I recall. Normal.

I'm not familiar on 'drain to waste'?
But I water to run off and the run off is discarded if that's what you mean?

Coming into the winter she's been getting less sun so I've actually just bought a light to suppliment it.
She doesn't seem to have any other issues though so I'll consider it a suntan

That's good to know, thank you!
Next time I grow I'll be looking a lot closer at my nutrients I use etc. I was kind of winging it this time.

Yea drain to waste coco is what its called. The suntan lotion is anthocyanin. If it turns completely dark purple I have that before they say thats not good but could of been the strain. It made it to harvest. In veg I try to limit how purple it gets as its followed by leaf damage if its way too bright.

I bought a new light and wow its from 100% to 75% to now 50% and been running these clones a while. Its gonna be a rough start.

That's really helpful to know - thank you!
I'll keep an eye on it getting much worse - I just want to get this lady over the finish line. I'll do things a LOT differently next year - and make a whole new bunch of mistakes!
