It helps drastically when the photos are taken in white lighting...
As a GH Flora user for 15 years, I highly recommend the Lucas ratio (AND reservoir management methods. They go hand in hand.) and zero additives. Once you've run a few grows with 8:16 micro:bloom, you'll have a decent understanding of what 'just' the nutrients do for the plant. Then start playing with additives like bud candy and the like. You'll thank yourself for taking the time to do so.
Look up "Ask Lucas," in a search engine, and read the thread you find a few dozen times.
The only large deficiency I've run into, in 15 years running Lucas, is magnesium. Easily fixed with half to a full gram of epsom salt per gallon.

Yep, the dreaded purple leaf syndrome!
I second that it appears to be a Ca deficiency, but yes the lighting could be better for the pics.
Looks like it's a Ca and Mg deficiency based on those leaf margins. I'd change out the reservoir to be sure that the nutrients are balanced, and then I'd add some Calimagic (less N than Calmag) to the mix; you'll be good at 3-5 ml/gal. Keep an eye on new growth and adjust the Calimagic as needed.
What's the EC and origin of your base water? I personally would drop the big bud and the bud candy. I'm not one for all the bs snake potions that simply muck up the waters, so to speak. I've done a side by side with two clones and bud candy, and noticed no differences worth mentioning.
