Ok my thought is you need to continue feeding with the bloom making sure your PH is correct You need to get another nute with higher PK ratios and start feeding that as well as foliar feeding that nute for those levels are too low in just your bloom. The plant will continue to use the N that is in excess and the purple will start to dissipate from the stems as you move forward.
why do you say that purple stems are cause by P deficiency?

i am using formulex from the same company as a folier feed at night it says 2.4 : 0.9 : 3.4 on the back i also have something called boost (says to add in the last few weeks) but it says 0 : 8.5 : 6.2 on the back could these help me or.. sorry this is my 2nd grow an 1st one i didnt use any nuets lol

2.4 : 0.9 : 3.4
is this the nutrient you're using in bloom?

the N-P-K looks a little disproportionate for bloom, which is most likely part of the problem. i would stop with foliar feeding, it's not a good idea in flowering anyway, and i would invest in different nutrients. my bloom nutrients are 2.4-2-5, i would recommend something with a similar range. yours is closer to my veg formula, which is 3-2-4

no sorry i was unclear my bloom nuets are 1.4-1.4-2.6 an the 2.4-0.9-3.4 is wat im using for an folier feed on top of that every night (dont ask why i just thought it woould help :( ) the nuets i was using for veg was 2.2-1.4-2.6, but you recon i should not mist them at all during flowering??

no as you risk mold. in any case most nutrients smell like shit anyways so you don't wanna taste it in your bud lol

lol the first couple crops i almost couldn't even sleep. seems like i woke up all through the night just to check on my plants lol, so i know what you mean. your ladies should be ok, just stop the foliar feeding and give them plain ph balanced water for about a week

Ok re reading Me Organic there are a few things I do differntly. You want your NPK in flower to be 3-4-5 N and high teens for the P and high to mid teens for the K now you can do this with one Nute or supplement to get there, You have to watch your Cal Mag as well but not quite as important. You can spray your nute I use Dyna Gro as you were doing only do it during lights on. You could also get a seaweed extract as well. I spray seaweed, my nute flower or bloom which ever I am in and liquid light rotating everyday. You have 2 choices here one is organic and one grows weed.

my bloom nuets are 1.4 - 1.4 - 2.6 i have a bottle of boost stuff that comes with it an says to use it in last few weeks that says 0 - 8.5 - 6.2 ,, about the spraying i used to spray them with formulex which reads 2.4 - 0.9 - 3.4 used it everynight when lights went off an statred putting heavier dose when went to flowering (my thoughts they will like to be cooler as lights hotter i know im a noob) but as mr. RRLBT said it was hurting them so i stopped last night and i have to say the leaves already seemed to have perked up abit, still dark but not as droopy, not time for watering yet so havent had a chance to start on the clear ph blanced water yet, none of the nuets i have, have 0 N content so im afraid to use any of them at the moment incase i further poisen them :(

Take pics when you can, close ups of leaves, nice to compare with the top leaves. Some problems take time to solve, sparkafire might have had a point there but still it looks more complicated than we think. I see you have tried a few things, maybe eliminate a few other problems. I will see the pics when you post them, maybe some of the whole grow. Good luck dude, maybe a fresh approach to the problem might help.
