I have decided to check trichomes from one of my plants through a microscope and noticed that there are a few of them(probably 5-10%) that has red or more like dark magenta colour inside them.

All but one of my plants has 2 more weeks to go as they are only on 6th week of flowering.

On the same sugar leaf I checked there are some of them that are just cloudy, few with clear colour, some with brown heads and a few with magenta colour. It is not a colour of these trichomes or their balls though, it is like something is flowing through them and freezed in time.

This picture shows the same colour but not a state of mine

I guess when it is ready for harvest this colour at least will come to a ball on top of a trichome and it will come to the picture above.

And there are not so many trichomes(sparkles) developed on my buds and sugar leaves yet and that why I think they are not ready yet, no matter what colours they are shown.

I have just never seen they can develop this colour.

What strain is it that you're growing? I've seen that with Pakistani Chitral Kush.

its called anthrocycline or stalled sap (xylem) due to cold exposure often happens here in winter too

In my case it is anything but cold. It is quite hot where I am.
I guess it is just a specific strain like Purple Kush that turns into purple when it is flowering. May be what we see on this type of a strain as a purple colour are just trichomes starting filling with this colour.

I need to check what strains I bought for my first grow as I used seeds from that grow for the second one.

UPD: May be it came from this https://www.cropkingseeds.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/White-Widow-Auto-Fem.jpg as this the only auto I had in my first grow and may be this one turn into hermie pollinating all others. All other strains I have bought do not seem to have this colour at all.

Mine are not that awesome too. It was not my picture in my first post as I could not take it through a microscope eyepiece using a phone. I have plans to purchase a microscope camera, then may be I will be able to give my pictures.
