could be... you also have badly purpled stems which is a sign of Phos def, most commonly associated with pH lock out... (and probably the most common problem I see in this section besides heat stress)
maybe try popping the plants out of the pots and looking at the root mass... see if its curling round n round itself...

thanks for your time jamieshoes, i did pop them out of the pots & they were rootbound
if not they were not far off, i cant transplant in to biger pots do to no room in closet.
so i cut the rootballs back alot id say about 3/4 put back in fresh soil ! i just checked
ph of fresh soil and all 9 plants are between 6.5,7.0 thats with a probe meter. its been
a few days leafs still seem to be yellowing but not as fast? really cant tell yet?
hope i didnt hurt them by the root chop-n- !! thanks again jamieshoes!!!
i will post some pics in afew days. wish me luck!

Thanks for post Jdog2020
We are new growers and were wondering about a few purple stems we have as well. Your opinion is most appreciated
you guys should also know that some strains nearly always display these red/purple stems (they're just phos hungry) the UK Cheese is a good example of that, it nearly always gets red stems...
the pH 6.5-7 in soil is bang on mate...
good luck

depends on the cause mate... but more often than not the cause lies in pH imblanaces so first thing to do is check you medium/run off pH and see what the score is there..

hey guys, heres pics of the rootchop!
my ph in my new soil is all good hopefully its still to soon to tell,
well its been 6 days new growth looks good!
the steams are starting to show sings of the purpeling my be lighten
up!! so will see? thanks again all peace!
click the link and see the roots i choped! thanks
wow 
Now we can see the pots, they were definitely rootbound mate... trimming root masses won't cause damage as such but it will slow growth (trimming roots is actually how you keep mums and bonsai mums at the right size )
and seeing the roots themselves also tells us thats where your problem was... hopefully you'll use bigger pots next time or don't veg so big and run more, smaller plants
they look like they're recovering ok mate if that's 6 days after treatment
