Needs more time to tell... If you see some sort of sack between the nodes forming its male if its a white string like thing coming out of a calyx its female i guess in 1-3 weeks max and you can tell safely

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?
So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Seedling strength
Do I need to do anything with these seedling to make sure they grow straight and strong? They are growing sideways trying to reach the sunlight from the window. Also, what is up with the purple stem?

Red stems
Is this a magnesium deficiency? The stems seem red. If so, does Calmag do the trick here?

Red/purple stems and Stunted grow
Girl Scout monkey and Funky Magnifera have red stems. I gave nutes a few days ago and it cleared all the red stems except for these two. My PH is 6.3 so idk why this is?? Blood orange haze seems little small and can't tell if its stunted. Should I wait or plant another?

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?

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!

Plants stress on first grow, no nutes yet. Barney's Cookies Kush.
These badass ladies were planted March 20th. I have not fed them yet (not sure when to start nutes when growing in soil). They are showing some stress. Nutes and bigger pots maybe? My light is a Mars Hydro TS600. General hydroponics trio is my plan.

Unusual new growth and clawing. Possible toxicity or def.
Anyone know what this could be? I'm guessing N excess but I'm not sure.
