I’m gna say temps when the lights off have you got a hygrometer that measure temps at they’re highest and lowest ? If you haven’t I’d invest in one you could get slow growth if it’s getting to cold during lights out I made that mistake had to go out and buy an oil heater but without the temps reading I wouldn’t have known People will say it’s a deficiency but I wouldn’t worry too much about that canna nutes are good all round

That definitely look like the strain. I grew a cross of Purple Punch this year and the leaves went deep purple early on.

What breeder ? Check out grow diaries and compare see if you can find the pheno your growing more than likely being a purple strain it’s just genetics ….. your growing the fire

When temps get into the 60s it can trigger this in some strains. Some purple strains don't even get purple without the temperature factor.

That typically doesn’t happen until deeper into flower. Purple punch is very purple. This is a bud from my grow. The green bud was for comparison.

What breeder is this ? I’ve grown an Amherst sour diesel that was purple bud but not grown an actual purple strain yet tho

I don't think that purple on the leaves is strain related. It's almost certainly caused by something else. Even non-purple strains will get purpling on the leaves for a variety of reasons. Nutrient issues, temperature, etc... With purple strains the purple doesn't typically show up that early and only on the tips of the leaves like that. Not enough information from the OP to try and determine the cause.
If it was caused by genetics the purple coloration would be more uniform on the growth like this plant. This is 100% genetics and not due to cold or any deficiency.

Name Shaker by Cannarado. That was definitely the darkest purple I've ever grown. Some of the buds were almost black.

Sadly they are probably all gone. Cannarado is a pollen chucker so he makes a bunch of crosses, drops the seeds and moves on to the next batch.That’s some dank you’ve got there ain’t it …. You still running the cut ? I carn find seeds online it may be discontinued
I didn't grab a mother due to limited space. I ran it twice and they came out nice both times. I forget what it was crossed with, but it made me a fan of Purple Punch because it definitely leaned that way.

Know of any purple bud strains like this ? Tickling my fancy now I’ve grown out a nice blue gelato 41 by barneys farms but it’s got nothing on that up there

I would go with the Purple Punch. I now sure who originally bred it or what the best bank to buy form is. I ran a bunch a purple strains back in the day and grew GDP for a few years. The problem was while they looked pretty, a lot of the older purple strains lacked potency. Ask @bk78 the names of the two strains that he recently ran. They were really pretty.
