As long as they're not showing signs of poisoning due to the nutes, would continue as you were - the red stem screams of Phosphorus deficiency.. but your pH may have been off a bit and is now back closer to where it's not being locked out. If you dont see necrotic spots on lower leaves.. then we've caught it before it gets out of hand. Red stem can also point to Nitrogen being locked out.. but your pH looks decent at this point in time. I'd check the pH every 8-12 hours to see if it's bouncing like mad.
Will also share one of the many links I have in my arsenal to troubleshoot deficiencies and things of that sort - tis pretty solid if you haven't handled the plants enough to know what the exact issue is by just glancing. Enjoy!

Figong have a similar question. 
Stems are purple from the time they going to vegetative growth after cloning all the way to flowering with no noticeable signs of deficiencies or unhealthiness to any of the plants. I am growing four different strains: Headband Kush, Master Kush, a mystery plant and AK-47 and all have purple leaf stems. Can anybody tell me what's going on, or this is normal?

Some of the strains you've mentioned have phenos in them that give purple stems - they may grow out of it in time, or may be like that their whole lifetime. As long as your pH is in check, and all else appears normal I would not panic for just purple stems. If you see necrosis near leaf midrib and other things, or getting color spots in those areas.. only then would I start to worry.. as that points to temperature issue. Which reminds me, the stems for the OP also could hint at a room temp issue, but I assumed that those are pretty much static and is why I didn't harrass the OP about room temp difference between lights on and off.Figong have a similar question.
Late in flowering, becouse of the N def, the plant relocates N from the lower, older leaves. It gets it gradually from the bottom fan leaves.

Thanks I was just curious. Is it normal for clone stems to turn purple during their rooting or dome phase?

during rooting phase, it may happen due to a deficiency as they're trying to grow like mad... would be more of a reddish-purple which may very well start at the leaves.. but you don't want to hit them with nutes as you could bake them.. permanently. Would see how it adapts - if it's not stunted growth-wise, and you're not getting odd leaf mutations, would let it be until such time as it has a root system so it can take a lil' bit more.

Yup, 6.3 if your meter is accurate to .1 would still mean 6.4 at most, and could cause issues with lockout of 3 criticals - glad you caught it, hope your ladies are doing well

Yea I knew there was nothing I could do during the rooting phase and they seem to come out of it quickly after being planted. I've been cloning in rock wool could this be the cause?
Figong

Only if it's a pH issue could rockwool be the cause - rockwool by its very nature has a high pH, and is why it's recommended that your nute solution & water pH is lower .. in an attempt to keep root zone semi-neutral in terms of pH balance.. on top of that, rockwool is also quite susceptable to shift of pH and generally points to more routine maintenance to ensure that the pH is in check/in proper range/where you want it.

A few years ago I was told on hear that your stems can get a deep dark red or even purple if your dark period tems are a bit cool....which mine were so I just kept a close watch. After a few grows I didn't worry as long as the rest of the leaf wasn't having problems....
Fan leaves turn yellow & fall off in flower when their energies are used up. I don't know how far along u are nor have I grown an autoflower yet so can't really give u much on that....hope things turn out ok for ya

My photo Critical Jack is doing the exact same thing! She's on the 12th week of flower. Mine has done it the last 4 weeks but the buds have sucked it right up so I left we'll enough alone.

No, it is not entirely normal but it isnt uncommon. Looks like it needs magnesium in that 3rd pic, but if your PH is off that might have caused it.
The buds will feed off the leaves if there isnt sufficient nutrients in the soil. When the flowering cycle is nearing the end I personally don't mind my buds sucking all the good stuff out of the leaves. Plant won't be needing leaves much longer anyway.
