hmm no idea man. but purple leaves, veins, if it's not genetic, needs more P in your mix. Unless it's just some picture color weirdness.. sry man.. even now staring at that thing, I say scale bugs.. but u checked, i dont know. scale bugs can feel like part of plant little bump, not to question you, but double check, there are many different color and shape scale bugs.. sry bro.. no help.

It's some insect goober, or poo etc.. somethin like that!

???




Check around for one or a few bigger type bugs/flies hanging around... maybe???

Maybe shake things up and something will fly out???




IF any more show up, then could be something like Calcium def. the absolute very beginning???
just pouring whatever I got on the screen for you.. no clue man.. ok, cya... for now.. till I think ofsomething else..lol

a friend of mine called me on the phone a couple weeks back and asked me about this issue o his outdoor plants

he described the same thing... strangely in the same way... black sharpie.. wont wipe off... doesn't have any raised bumps..
I think his sounded more wide spread

I told him I had no idea what it was, but I am curious si im going to keep watch and see if you ever figure it out
