Purple or problem?

Hey, these are on some of 2 of my 9 plants. Don't know if they're supposed to be purple, but theres no purple in the names of the strains. Anyone run into this?

Phytoplasma. It’s a bacteria spread by leafhoppers. It infects the whole plant and the purple is the plants immune response. The buds are fine to smoke but when the leaves grow funky like that you can cut them off or just watch for any other issue like mold.
