Yellow leaves and purple stems

I go easy on nutes. I usually lightly feed every 10-14 days. All my plants are fine except my tallest plant. I'm starting to see yellow fan leaves and purple stems. I'm currently in week 4 of flower. I just fed her some bloom/mag-pro, but do you think it needs more nitrogen? I've read mixed things.

I use RO water and when I checked the PPMs with nutes were like 200. And I didn't realize but the nutes was bringing the pH down to 4.5 so I redid it and gave 475 ppm and 6.5 pH. Hopefully this helps. How often should I feed? Weekly? Will these yellow leaves recover or once they get that way they are done?

needs magnesium....essential in photosynthesis, your leaves are dying and stems purple because of it. Put some botanicare sweet or epsom salts on them. Cal-Mag could work too but if you use that ide still use epsom or sweet

What is that 20ml? It sounds high to me but again I have no experience with epsom application. I've always used liquid cal-mag.

Thinking more on that I think it's hard to od a plant on cal-mag so maybe it's just right. In coco I'd give 150-200ppm of Cal-mag with no issues noticed.
 
Im gonna give you some diff advice. Dont worry about it. It will grow. Some yellowing at 4 weeks is not great but dont try too much. It is mag deficiency but you need to balance your base nutes. Once these get balance you wont save the leaf but the problem will be isolated.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I've been using RO water since day 1. I added 8 tbsp of dolomite lime to my 5 gallon fabric pot, but I guess it's not enough.
