please any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated. my cola leaves and a bunch of others, not the fans but around the buds, are turning a blackish purple and i am pretty sure it is because of the cold. i think my plants are 2 to 3 weeks from harvest but i dont know what to do until then. should i harvest now or let them sit in the frost or what? please help

I was going to say that maybe this is just how the strain looks...but then again, your third picture looks mighty unhealthy.

Its black/purple...it could be a phosphorus deficiency.

Dude, u should harvest before next frost or u could lose everything!!!
Have they been thru frost already?
The problem is when the bud gets wet from dew (happens naturally when temps drop at night) and that dew freezes, the calyx's can burst and cause rapid rotting to happen. If it rains at night before the frost, it basically seals the deal.

as for the color change, thats normal to see purple, sometimes almost black hues when the temps get extremely low for cannabis.

What part of the world do you live in? If you can cover it at night. Put a trash can over it at night keeps the dew and frost off.
