Actually 1tbls per gallon is pretty much the standard recommended amount, anywhere between 1tsp and 1tbls and you should be fine, thats not the problem. Some strains have naturally purple stems, it could just be genetics. What strain you growing? Also, you could have burn from nitrogen and deficiency of mg, they aren't mutually exclusive, although with all the nutes you're using I would guess burn for the tips and genetics for the stems

I dont think your defficiant in anything. To me they look over fed. Lush green, sizzled tips and teeth. Purple stems can be strain dependant or temperature induced. Flush and continue at half strength for a couple or so.

I actually think the plant looks fairly good aside from the mild nutrient burn and noticeable PH fluctuations. The purple stems look to be genetic as they have not continued into the center vein. Back off the EC/PPM a tad bit. DWC's don't ever run full strength unless you have a fucking monster, and you don't(no offense tho, they get bigger) and focus on PH management to make flowering as smooth as possible. Other than that man your good.

Holy crap im glad i looked back here so i can take back what i said. I didnt notice the dwc. I thought it was dirt, sorry. Plant looks underfed not over, correction. Stop molasses. You may be slowing uptake of nutrients with sugar coating. Dont flush, i thought you were in dirt, sorry. Id change rez soonish and just run basic nute line up at the correct ppm w calmag for a bit. Id say around 7-900 ppm. They look ok so dont get crazy, im thinkin less is more still.

I've found that purple stems occur regardless of deficiencies etc, some plants just do it.

How can you tell the PH is fluctuating?
