I have a plant.. only about 4 1/2 feet tall and planted as seed from march 27. Grown in 100+ temperatures for most of its life. Anyways heres my questions.

It use to form 7 bladed leaves, but ever since she flowered she has this weird thing and only makes 3 bladed leaves.. idk does this effect the quality of the weed? has any1 else had this problem before? One more thing.. it has a little tint of purple on the top of the bigger more formed buds.. is this bad? cuz where the purple is.. there is no longer hairs coming out the top of the bud.. i dont understand, also her fan leaves all have purple stems.. it's not cold where I live at all so I dont understand. It's still in the 100s at this time of year oddly, and at night never below 60 or so. thanks in advance
 
the purple color on your plant STEMS is caused by Phosphate defficiency. different ratios of N-P-K are required for the plants veg and flowering state.

veg = high N and lower P-K ratio. example; 15-10-10.
flower = low N and high P-K ratio. example 10-15-15

answer: your plant is just saying- give me more of that Phosphate, I'm hungry!

I know that cooler growing tempatures(nightime), will give the bud a purpley look. it makes some people think its stronger but, IMO judge weed on the effects, not the looks lol. regardless of the color, the hairs are gone!!! It's obviosly not temp caused, its the lack of P in your fertalizer. i have this stuff called "Shultz bloom plus plant food" its N-P-K ratio is 10-54-10, i use it one time to induce flowering, its only supposed to be used once or twice a grow. that stuff is really potent though... i'm just trying to convey my point.

the leaves thing is genetic. obviously your plant has had that "special flowering leaves trait" breed into it... probably by accident. imo its harmless they are leaves. nothing has changed its not like they're going to refuse to collect the light lol. My auto flowers are not a "stable strain", so a few of my leaves look WIERD. I'm getting random 4 and 3 stars now, but usually the leaves on my plants have 5 star pattern, i thought i was the only one... hope that answers everything
 
dont use something to strong, that shultz might hurt your plants its not what you want cuz its WAYYY to powerful, get nutes and make the mixture nothing more then 15-15-15 strength(dilute it).
 
Its normal for plants to have fewer blades as they flower, most do. Theres a lot of pics on here with purple stems, flowers, and leaves. If its bagseed maybe its just in the genetics.What have you used for nutes so far? Dont go pouring nutes on unless you really need them. Its true it could be from a phosphours deficiency, but without seeing the plant no one could say for sure.
 
pics?? would this be a indica dominant plant?

usually my indicas start to form tight little buds with less blades on the leaves.
