Natural purpling buds or deficiency?

[NOOBGROW]

Noticed leaf tips are starting to purple off. Not sure if its normal or not. It looks pretty sick either way lol.

Currently week 12. Growing in coco. Auto ultimate strain.

I did cut down on pk boost and used a ripen. Dont know if they are the same thing or not.

I have a couple pics not sure if they are clear enough. Any help appreciated.

It may just be fading as it finishes up. Have you checked the trichs?

From what I have read. purpling ( is that a word? Well, it is now) of the petioles and stems early on, may be a sign of problems. especially in a non purple strain.

Possible early sign of magnesium deficiency. At this stage, I don't see it really mattering much, only a week or so till they come down. Veg / early flower a little Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) might help. Mid late flower is not when you want your sulfer load to increase, so no epsom at that point.
