I noticed today these purple looking dots on sugar leaves and fan leaves…is this a mold? I also had bud rot start on two buds that I removed. I am concerned and first photo grow and first year growing. This is outdoor ak47 ILGM plant

Doesnt look like mold
If it wipes off it’s a type of fungus, and I absolutely can’t remember the name of it. If it doesn’t wipe off it could be the beginnings of a calcium or magnesium deficiency. 50/50 water and peroxide in a spray bottle and spray down plant if it wipes away. Calmag at 5ml per gallon for deficiency.
Edit…
Just went back and looked at pics. Your leaves are kind of bright green. What nutes are you using?

I am only using tiger bloom fox farm liquid nutrient at this point about 7-10 ml. Here is full plant picture. Also, I just tried to wipe away and it does not wipe away. I think I am harvesting in next 2-3 weeks.

Just based on your pics, I would say 4-6 weeks before best harvest.
That would be my bet.

Thanks!!! Can I defoliate the plant without stressing her? Also, should I get an additional supplement being
I am thinking it is nutrient burn based on tips burning and other symptoms. I put 3 gallons of ph 6.8 water as a flush and will give a few days hoping that resolves issue. Thank you for all the answers!!! Based on thought of calcium mg deficiency…should I even attempt to resolve this late in the game? Harvesting 3 week estimate
You could remove a few of the bigger fans to allow for airflow but not more than 20% total greenery.
I doubt that plant will be fully mature harvest wise in 3 weeks. As I stated earlier, 4-6 is more likely. Cal-Mag would be a good idea and won’t hurt anything.
I top dress with bone meal for phosphorous (P) and potash for potassium (K) while flowering.
