Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint, fan leaves turning purple after final flush **PICS**

So I just did the final flush on two plants on Friday, 5/16/14, and my GSC is now showing signs of Phosphorous deficiency, particularly the leaves turning purple. I mean, I know the final flush got rid of the nutes in the soil, but I would also figure there would be some nutes stored in the leaves. Is this a problem? Should I move to cut and harvest as soon as possible or does the deficiency not really matter at this point?

I do try to keep night temps low at this stage in order to trigger anthocyanin production, but ambient temps keep it between 67-71 at night, so I don't think it's cold enough to cause the leaves to drastically change color like this, but maybe I'm wrong? While the leaves do look cool, I just want to make sure it's not going to harm the end result this far in. Please help!

@kmog33 In the leaves or the buds? I don't think I've ever seen GSC with purp in the buds, though I've never seen the thin mint pheno before now. This is also my first time running any sort of GSC, so...I dunno

I did just stumble across this picture, which is also showing some purple in the leaves, presumably after their final flush judging by the yellowing. So maybe you're right...

Still kinda looks like phosphorous deficiency, tho
