This is probably phosphorous deficiency:
""
[h=3]Phosphorus[/h] Phosphorus is a component of certain enzymes and proteins, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), ribonucleic acids (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and phytin. ATP is involved in various energy transfer reactions, and RNA and DNA are components of genetic information.
Phosphorus (P) deficiency
Figure 11 is severe phosphorus (P) deficiency during flowering. Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.
Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.
Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.

some yellowing is normal as nitrogen stripping occurs in flowering .. wouldnt worry too much...try some flushing..one mentioned a defienciency..so them that means you would add more chemicals to solve the issue -- DO NOT! So far in growing for well over 30 years I have never ever had any difciency growing in soil that caused any problems on the way to bud harvest..from what I gather pure 100% clear clean PH adjusted good old water brings out the best taiste in your buds and def brings out the most THC content....starving your plants of nutes in the last month should not hurt they only have this stuff stored up already UNLESS you have a total sterile media that has no nutes you should have enough micro elements it is way easier to screw things up with too much of something then not enough...

Thank you for the Help! I have soil with Nutes already in it for 5 Months. And the plant just growed well. Should i get some extra Nutes from the DIY Shop with some Phosphorus? Or will the plant be just fine?

All the skunk1 ive grown could take nutes that would kill other plants...and some phenos have a natural dark green leaf color.

You saw the Tips of the Leaf from the Pictures before? Do you know which deficiency it is? And which NPK I should to solve it?

So just i just get some Nutes for Flower and you think the problem is done?
Something like 10-25-15?

10-15-10 or 10-20-10 if you are going to the local big box. Shultz makes a liquid flower nute that is 10-15-10 and is probably your best bet. If you want to spend $11 + shipping you can get a bottle of Dyna-Gro Bloom online (3-12-6), which I recommend over big box ferts.
