Some of the leaves are gaining a light to dark purple tint. Anyone ever have this happen to them?

Yup, there was a thread about it not so long ago:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...rue#Post2938093
Several different theories on it as discussed there. Some said sunburn, some said temps, some said nutrients, etc.
What conditions are you growing it in?

Where do you live?
Are you being effected by rain?

From what I have now seen and read it must be from light conditions. What I need to get is a timer for my lights cause sometimes they will be left on for two sometimes three days at a time.

from my botany textbook-
Phosphours
deficiency symptoms:
plants dark green, often accumilating anthocyanins and becoming red or purple: in later stages of growth, stems stunted: oldest leaves become dark brown and die.
Nitrogen
deficency symptoms:
general chlorosis, especially in older leaves: in severe cases, leaves become completly yello and then become tan as they die: some plants exhibit purple coloration due to accumilation to anthocyanins.
