Could be a phosphorus or potassium deficiency, its pretty common at this stage. It could also just be genetics. Check out other diaries of the same strain and see if they had the same changes around this time. They're looking great!

Do those leaves look a little too dark green and slightly waxy? May have to lay off the nitrogen I think.

All my plants have purple stems on the leaves at this point. They look totally healthy besides that. Not sure how to resolve the issue or if it is not even big deal. Just don’t want to negatively impact yield. Any advice?

Deficiency or toxicity
Stems are really purple, leaf stalks and veins also purple. Something is up. Some leaves starting to show burn spots but not many. She's a bit down because she needs a feeding. Is this magnesium deficiency? Should I be upping my nutes at this point this late in veg end of W9?

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.
Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins. Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves. The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high. I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff. Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8
