I cannot see the pics. But 2ml of calmag with Ro water in straight coco seems low. 5ml or so seems about right. Most take their RO water to 150-200ppm with calmag before adding nutes.If I remember right Grow Big does not contain any cal or mag. So you probably want to go closer too 200. I would bring pH up to the low 6s also.

Ec?

Run off from the day before was still in bottom. I left it trying to raise my humidity and I tested it and it tested 6.1. Will the purple in the stems go away if I get the nuts correct? No one answered before I had to go to sleep so I uped the FF grow to 6ml and added 3ml cal mag. Seems the steams are half purple half green. The top leaves are darker green now

Make sure your runoff readings match what you're putting in! Both ph and ec/ppm!!!
Then check the next day.
Dont let your runoff sit and fester! Its one of the biggest causes of these types of issues.
Good luck man.

I wrote down everything tonight and will check again in morning. Does the lower humidity effect anything? When I turn the fans that blow the room air in the tent the humidity drops to about 30%

If no fans humidity is fan but temps are 84
Dont worry mate.
You have bigger fish to fry right now!!!!
30% humidy is just ok. Id be more worried if was too high. (60+ humidity and crap airflow/exchange)
I try to keep mine between 40 and 60.
Though 30% isnt going to do anything, in the short term.
Good luck in the morning.

Ph is correct after run off. Also PPM are the same coming out. This spot started on bottom leaves and Ive been told magnesium starts at top. I am confused to whats wrong. My plant still seems to be growing good

Cut your calmag now!!! All of it. Your ph will stay stable longer.
Only give 200ppm of your 6-4-4!!!
Give it a good flush!
Wait a few hours. Then tell us if its improving.
Go by your runoff.
Let us know soon
Tim
