It might be a sign of phosphorous deficiency. It usually shows up in flowering or during cold temperatures, because the cold inhibits phosphorous intake. It might also be the strain.

purplish leaf veins are also a good sign of a phosphorus defficiency

Cold temperatures (below 50F/10C) can make phosphorous absorption very troublesome for plants.Not enough Phosphorus causes slow growth and causes the plant to become weak. Fan leaves will show dark greenish/purplish and yellowish tones along with a dullish blue color to them. Sometimes the stems can be red, along with red petioles that can happen when having a Phosphorus deficiency. This isn’t a sure sure sign of you having one though, but can be a sign. Some strains just show the red petioles and stems from its genes.
