Leaves turning dark purple almost black looking

[Jmoney0523]

So I know certain things cause the leaves to turn purple but I have never seen them turn this dark before. This is an Indica plant on week seven of flowering so it’s almost done. The Trish are half milky, white, and some turning Amber so it’s only got a little bit left to go. I’m just curious why the leaves are turning such a dark color

It’s just a phenotype for purple. I’ve grown several plants that were almost black from the purpling. Your plants look great.

Plants turning purple isn't unusual these days.

I'm not a huge fan of purple but there's a few exceptions.

I literally just posted the same thing. Ethos lemon cherry gelato x end game. Just did a res change with nutes set for week 5. And they are looking like this.

Cannabis and Anthocyanins
Anthocyanins are found in cannabis, with some strains (cultivars) containing more pigment than others (e.g., Granddaddy Purple, Purple Diesel). Cannabis growing in colder temperatures (e.g., if it regularly drops below 65 degrees Fahrenheit at night) tend to display more purple anthocyanins. This is because cold breaks down chlorophyll (which is green) and allows anthocyanins to become dominant.

Anthocyanin: The Compound That Turns Cannabis Purple

Anthocyanins are a group of plant pigments that give some plants a blue, black, red, or purple color.

Senescence. No worries the plants life cycle is winding down and showing fall colors.

So I just was squeezing a cpl buds to see how dense they are. Rock solid baby! And I got the sweet sweet aroma of skittles it smells like! Any guesses as to what strain this could be? I know it’s an indica dominant. Just don’t know what strain…

There are a lot of skittles crosses. Maybe gorilla skittle?
