I'm not sure what I need???

Hello people,
I have three plants that have been showing the same problem and although this pic is not mine, this is exactly what the leaves look like...

These leaves are the older fan leaves and they are about half way up the stalk. Also, the stems for these leaves have turned a dark purple. What do you recommend I do in order to reverse this effect???

the purple is from lack of P, check your ph and if its good then try adding nutes with more p.

So if I add some nutes that are high phosphorous to the water I use for the soil should reverse this effect???

that pic is for ozone damage.

no don't go adding nutes just yet. im saying the ph might be locking out the p

the phosphorous will help with the purpleness. I have no idea about the leaves.

Actually, that pic is from Ca(Calcium) deficiency, which from what I understand now, is caused because of low P(Phosphorous).

Okay, so what your saying is make sure the ph level is right and if not then adjust them accordingly? The water I use normally is between 6.8 and 7.0. Should I drop this down a notch?

yeah its better for soil around 6.2-6.5

Okay, if I don't have any PH up or PH down, do I use white wine vinegar to bring the PH level down???

Ozone Damage:
Ozone damage typically found near the generator. Although a rare problem, symptoms generally appear as a Mg deficiency, but the symptoms are localized to immediately around the generator.
