Leaf discoloration and purple stems (new grower)

I'm thinking it's a magnesium deficiency? I use distilled water. From what I've been reading I probably haven't been using cal mag as I should, I was worried I was going to over do it and cause a nute lockout. Nutrients I use are in the pics. Thanks in advance.

Potassium lock out problem due to incorrect root zone pH is what the leaves are telling me. Soil pH can be very different to fertilizer/water pHBJust because your nutrientsare at 6.0 pH, does not mean your soil pH will be the same. Check your soil pH. Purple stems could be related to this as well, but I actually think the purple stems are a type of light burning caused by unnecessary heavy defoliation. Tap water is fine for plants, I do not think using distilled water is the best idea and it is basically a waste of money in my opinion.

Hey Ether it is just genenetics or a Phosphorus deficiency but the deficiency is more likely

purple stems can be a sign of phosphorus deficiency, but then the whole stem would be purple most likely. Its also pretty rare to occur, this looks like its genetical or maybe p-H related

Few things: -Genetics first and foremost. Common in certain strains -drop in temps -late in flowering
