Red/purple stems and yellowing leaves is a sign of magnesium deficiency.

Leaves bright green
So I have ruled out the fact that this is not a ph problem, have been properly watering at a consistent ph of 6.5, tested the run off today and it's at a pH of 6.4, also there is purple stems and the main stock has purple running through it as well?!?! Is this lack of pk? ca/mg?

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.
Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?

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

Natural or Problem?
Is this natural yellowing or is there a problem? pH to 6.3 and runoff is 5.7. The stem is awfully purple, watering/feeding is where I struggle. 1st pic - 4/21 and 2nd pic - today(4/24). Seems to have escalated over the last few days. Do-si-do auto about 10 weeks.

Early growth sick plants - photoperiod
Purpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts? Any GH nutrient schedules?

Calcium deficiency or overfed?
Hi. This is about my Apricot Auto which already suffered the yellow tips/edges. I took that as the result of heat/light stress. Now she also developed discoloration and brown spots on some of the leaves. It looks like a Calcium deficiency to me, but I am quite uncertain. Thanks!

Yellowing lower fan leaves, a few red stems; N/Mg deficiency or normal low leaf die-off?
Is this a Mg or N deficiency or are these leaves naturally dying off? Showing on only one of two plants so far. Appears only on lowest fan leaves. F20, 7L pots BioBizz AllMix and nutes (1mL/L Grow and 2mL/L Bloom). Temp/RH are good. Can't measure pH. Local soft tap water 7-8pH.
