Definitely Phosphorus Deficiency :
Phosphorus aids in root growth and overall health of the plant and is especially essential when the plant is in flowering. Cannabis loves phosphorus and it is very unlikely that cannabis gets too much phosphorus. A plant which is deficient in phosphorus will have slow, stunted growth. If there is a major deficiency, the leaves may exhibit dark gray or purplish splotches. The last picture below is an info-graphic with more information about phosphorus and your marijuana plant.
What you have to do is check the pH and flush system. An excess of Fe and Zn may cause a phosphorus deficiency. If you've tried everything else, then you may try adding a bit more phosphorus to your feeding schedule and see if that helps clear up the problem. Cannabis plants love phosphorus, and therefore it is unlikely that you will give your cannabis too much phosphorus.

Thanks for the reply, will definitely head to the hydroponic store tomorrow and pickup some calmag is there any particular Epsom salt I can use for my plants? And what can I add to increase my phosphorus count on my plants? Today I kinda flushed my plants with ph water I was suppose to feed today but decided to give them a drink instead until I get the stuff I need for them...
