Heres my setup. 7 plants in a 2x3 another problem.
Lol all those leaves are touching i've just realised. you're going to have to prune some of them leaves at some point or get another fan in there or something because if those leaves are touching each other for long enough you will get PW. (powdery mildew).

Edit: you want to try and spread them as far apart as possible.
 
I screwed up i live in michigan and can legally have 12 should of bought 4x4 tents. Guess ill be buying a new tent and light or lights. Any one using optic one phantoms.

you haven't screwed up dude, they look really nice. you just gotta keep going. Don't stop. try and keep the leaves from touching each other and keep feeding them :)
 
Did slurry test 3 weeks ago 7.29 same as city water. Been lowering ph with vinegar till ph down shows up. But ive been phing before nutes. So idk i know im doing something wrong or alot of things. Gave them a good feeding and already look better. If you dont mind can i keep you updated.

Gorilla glue 4, blue cookie. Roots organic original soil optic 1 phantom xl lights. Phed water to 6.5. General organics nutes 1\2 strength every other feeding. Temps 68-70 40-50%humidity. I dont know what im doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
From what I can see (and maybe im wrong here) , this is normal and those seeds have purple flowering genetics and they are simply changing colour as the buds matures.
Id just rock with it.

Here are some of mine, same purple colour now developing, the leaves yellow off coming into maturity IMG_20200430_190941.jpg
and then the purple starts coming through.

Notice how the below leaves are still green, that is a sign the nutrients are fine as are yours.
Mine are in basic potting mix
My plants are Alaskan Purple so are meant to go purple as they mature.

This yellowing and Purple color is enhanced by strong light (or cool night temps, outdoors), if you dont want it you can raise your light up a bit or dim it, that will reduce yield a bit though..

I think your plants look good and you have done a good job.

some possibly useless information :

Chlorophyll, the green pigment absorbs the outer edges of the light spectrum—the reds, oranges, blues, and violets. The green and yellow wavelengths, in the middle of the spectrum, are not absorbed but rather reflected from the plant. This reflection is what causes plants with chlorophyll to appear green to the human eye. Plants of different colors contain other pigments, such as anthocyanins, which are responsible for reds and purples; anthoxanthins, which reflect yellow; and carotenoids, which reflect yellow, orange, or red.

When plants change colors in autumn, it is due to their having a mixture of these pigments. In many plants chlorophyll is the dominant pigment, causing the plants to appear green rather than red or purple, which would be caused by anthocyanin. As winter approaches and the weather cools, chlorophyll decomposes, allowing light reflected from other pigments to be seen. This is why many leaves can be seen changing from green to red, orange, and yellow during the fall.

As your plant matures at the end of its life cycle as part of its natural aging process, in certain strains that green pigment breaks down exposing the underlying colors within the cell walls.

Those green pigments are the weakest and are the first to go, yellow second, then the red or purples appear, that is why when a cow eats green grass we get yellow butter, because the green breaks down but the yellow carotene is tougher and remains in the butter giving it its colour.

That is why butter is yellow when feed on grass alone, and cows that are feed on artificial stock feeds over winter like palm kernel/grains the butter is whiteish and lacks the yellow colour. Buy the yellowest butter as it is more natural and healthier, the cow has been free to graze a grassy green paddock in a more moderate winter climate rather than been kept locked up in a shed over winter and fed artificial grains/stock feed.
