This is my 1st grow. And I've come a long way with these ladies. And after all that we've been through together I can't lose them now. I started with 5 plants, now we're down to 3. Two cream cookie autos. (Weird though even though they are both the same age... 1 pictured ... is ok but has a few brown spots [more on this one in comments below]. And the other is huge with only a few pistils... not flowering at all... (fast buds) just not a good experience for my first time using them. But I digress... and i also have 1 PINEAPPLE EXPRESS photoperiod. This is the middle of the third week of flower for all three plants.
I woke up to theses issues that I need dire help...
Red and or Purple stems on Fan leaves of both plants ... ( also some of the fan leaves on the pineapple look a little lifeless and dropping .. just some though w/ some spots hit and miss... not brown... just a tic faded (pic)
The Cream cookie (the one that actually did flower.. lol.... was doing well until.. last night when I noticed the spots ... (pictured) along with the red/ purple stems...

Stats: (for both)
5 gal DWC w/ bubblers (tap water-- 119 ppm) 67- 71f res nute temp.

PH 5.8 for Pineapple ex. & 6.1 for cream

PPM'S (for Cream cookie 1348 +/- 10... & 1386 for pineapple +/- 10) could / probably running a little hot.

RH. 40 - 60% ⛺ tent. ... ambient air 65- 75f
Running:
GH Maxibloom 1tsp/ gal. - (4 tsp)
Botanicare silica 2.5 ml/ gal- (10 ml)
Botanicare cal-mag 3 ml/gal - (12 ml)
GH KoolBloom 2 .5ml/ gal- (10 ml)
*when I discovered the problems (yesterday)
I went from GH 3 part flora series to GH 11 part Maxibloom w/ additives.. (already ordered my 22lb bag of Mega Crop. W/ bud explosion.... this will be my nute reg on my second and subsequent crops...) but for now... HELLLPPPP!!!! OR AM I JUST PANICING LIKE US NOOBS LEND TO DO...LOL

** that is a 1 (one) part maxibloom... not 11 sorry about that (typo)
**like us noobs TEND to do
Also... has FastBuds Autos been an issue for anyone...???
very inconsistent for me... of 5 seeds... 4 germinated (1 never saw the light of day). Two of the four made it 1 month... then just stopped growing... and died... (all four cream cookies that did make it were fed the same things at the same times)
Now with two Cream cookies left... one is doing Great... ummm well... some brown spots on two fan leaves... but other than that ... good. But the other (Auto) has yet to do a thing other than a few pistils... its a really bushy thing ... but not 1 bud site... its weird ... i would like to try Fast buds again but this time with Mega Crop nutes (already ordered) but any help or suggestions or reasons as to why this would happen with an AUTO... I thought once germinated these were going to flower with or without me... (relatively speaking of course) any other suggestions on reliable seed banks ... and Mephisto is out of stock and has been everywhere for some time...

First, where did you source your seeds from? Did they come in breeder packs or in repacks?
What's the light cycle? If they're all in the same tent, you must be on 12/12 for the photoperiod plant and autos want 18/6 or 20/4 in order to do well.
If you're switching to Mega Crop (love it) you should also get their Sweet Candy and Bud Explosion.

Jumping from nutrient to nutrient because you spot a few spots on a couple of leaves makes no sense.

Hey everyone, firstly I want to thank you all for taking the time to respond, I truly appreciate it. (That was a lot to read.. lol).

Secondly, I, in no way am trying to be argumentative. I truly know(recognize) that I have 2 past 0 skills in the art and science of cannibis growing. That being said, I was running both plants on 16/8 (and I waited... waited... thats how the pineapple got so big. Lol ) until the Autos went into flower and THAAaatttsss when it started the 12/12 lights cycle... so that the autos and the photo kinda harvest together ... also ... yes I did switch from the 3 part GH flora to the 1 part Maxibloom, but I have been looking for a better solution to what I was doing (NEW TO THE GAME NOOB WHO JUST WANTS TO HAVE A NEW & GOOD FIRST GROW lol ...) and as I understand it issues like "spots".. if not attended to early I can lose my crop... NOT GOOD .... so yeah, it didn't make any sense to me to HAVE TO switch nute lines already but HELL... you probably have forgotten more about growing than I know at the moment... lol... me changing nutes, is me learning, is me growing....lololol... in growing... so teachers ... here is what I've learned in class
1. Be patient...
2. Add more Cal-Mag... great and thanks for getting it. :)
3. Mega crop is good (actually #1)
4. Fast buds... idk (get from genetic house and not resellers. ???)
5. Be patient ...
