this looks like a mag definicey to me, so i started to give epsom salt spray at 1 TBSP per gal. plants appeared to become more green, however it looks like there is still a potassium or Ca def. I've been growing for a while and just want a third opinion.

I'm using canna line. plus calimagic. 2 ml of calimagic per gal, 7.5ml a+b 4ml per gal of cannazyme. ppms were 850 on last feeding. PH going in is 6.0. top half of the stems have been purple as well.

Not sure about everything else. But maybe drop humidity to 60% if you can.

Open a window or something and let fresh air come in for a couple of hours each day.

Totally sealed rooms scare me. I don't want one.

hmm, i was thinking RH was too low. i try to run VPD. The plants love it. lows of airflow in the room. everything is moving, top and bottom.

seems to me by the looks of the coco it's not fully watered. need to have run off when feeding in coco and by the third pix that is not happening. could be salt build up. foliar should not lock out the root system to my knowledge. i would flush the pots and ease back into nutrients
