Would like to hear from experience, what has happened to my autoflower?
Why are the leaves this colour? Black,pink,purple,yellow and green

Did you pull those off or did they fall off? Purpling of leaves can happen due to genetics. The tips look a little burnt however.

Those were pulled off, they are very close to harvest. They were burnt a while back im still getting used to the nutrient strengths. The purple has only happened to one of them would it still be genetics?

Yep. One of my bubblicious' leaves slowly went purple then black, then the buds turned pink and purple. Only happened to 1 of 3.

Well that's that sorted. Thanks
Just for future reference can this happen to any or just specific strains?

I'd guess it's a molybdenum deficiency. It's either getting too cold for molybdenum to be transported effectively within the plant or your media/soil/solution doesn't have enough molybdenum for that particular plant or that plant sucks at absorbing molybdenum. Any of those are somewhat common IMO.

If only one went purp it could just be a different phenotype of the strain. I'm pretty uneducated on molybdenum issues so I can't comment on that.
