New to living soils and having issues with purple stalks and stems. They have lost there green colour and soft / bendable nature and are very stiff / hardwood like. Also displaying a wide variety of nutrient-deficient signs on leaves.
They were only on week 3 of veg and started strong, no issues.
Using BlueSky soil - link below
Watering with RO in general or could it be a dirty filter / membrane ?
I’ve read about it commonly being a Cal / Mag issue but thought this pricey soil would have that covered.
Maybe switch to a Small boy w KDF?
Removes up to 99% of chloramines, chlorine and 90% of sediment, rust, silt, etc. @ 1 GPM Easily produces 60 gallons per hour of clear water filtered down to 5 microns Filter capacity of 6,000 gallons Unit Dimensions (H x W x D): 14" x 12" x 6" Weight: 8.2 LBS UPC: 812111011314

and let’s the girls eat minerals from the tap water?
Looked at roots, can’t see much but have ordered a Dynalite to scope for soil mites.
Only else I can think of would be a VPD issue maybe? Humidity has been low / a struggle ( dry climate Alberta, Canada ) .
Lost.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Check the temperature, low temperatures can cause the plant and flowers to purple, if it's too low like low 60 to mid 50 your growth will slow down a lot
