Aberrant fronds and weird leaves

Ok, actual question. I am noticing lots of extra fronds, like, 7 frond leaves with a small eithth frond. Thinking it was a pH issue, but pH has been stable for a couple of weeks. Growth is slow and stems are purple, prolly need some magnesium. Plants are otherwise looking very healthy.
Seed stock may have been from a Hermie.

so what's the question? why is growing odd leaves?
magnesium doesn't make anything purple, P deficiency can, but purple is just as likely to be genetic.
post some pics, in regular light, and info like temps, rh, medium, what kind of lights, what kind of and how much nutes
 
A whole extra leaf coming out where a frond or finger should be. Strain is OG Cheese, seed was likely from a hermie. Grown in a drip system, cheap Chinese LEDs, fox farm nutes. In the first 3 weeks of life, they got pH stressed, overwatered as seedlings, starved for nutes, and we lost three sprouts when they got too dry. They should all be dead.
Got most of those issues sorted, but still having these mutations. Humidity fluctuates widely in the room. I just hope I didn't turn them all male ffs.

looks like you have mites. go get some pyrethin and some spinosad, and spray them alternately every three days for at least two weeks.

Oh I just looked at the picture. The dots on the leaf are dust if that's what you're seeing. I havent seen signs of mites on any plants yet. The Mojave is brutal that way. Still working out filtration for the room. Good thing I don't expect much from this grow other than to get the system dialed in for the next one.
