They look like the ph is off or there is nutrient lockout.
When ur plants dry up water and collect run off and see how strong ur ec is and what ur ph is. If its hign ec then flush till u get it down to 1.3 ec or less. Same if ur ph is off make sure u feed on the low or high side depending on where ph is. If its like 7 or higher use a ph of 6 to feed with till u get it below 7. if its 6 or lower then feed with a ph of 6.8 or so till u get it about 6.5 or higher.
I would guess its high ph cause of ur starting water. I know u adjust it down but that doesn't take away from that mineral that's causing the water to be high in the first place. It could also be that mineral throwing off ur nutrient profile. Actually u probably have a high starting ec in ur water, measure ur tap water ec. If its above .5 it usually causes probs, and using ro water is a better alternative, or a strategy that adjusts for the amount and type of mineral that's in the water.

If ur on a .5 scale then u are over .5 ec in ur tap. That could be part of the prob, but I would focus on overwatering, too much nutes or ph being off, and checking ur runoff after the next watering would be a good starting point.
Im not sure purple stems do mean that.

It means their deficient in something probably because of a lockout or environmental problem.

U using fox farms ocean forrest. It was quite often too hot straight out of the bag for me. It could be lockout do to too much nutes in the soil. Have u collected run off and measured the ph and nutrient strength coming out. Most people just water for the first couple weeks in fox farms cause its so strong right out of the bag. Without further info Id guess that's it or high ph causes that fading out of green as well. And ur water is loaded with high ph minerals.
Also whats ur high, low, temp, humidity. What light u using, how close is the canopy to the light. How big is the room, and what kind of airflow do u have?
