The stems are purple and the leaves are light green and yellow too... I think its locked out seeing how youre using 3 part and ffof so its probably not underfed

K, that spotting on the uppers is classic Ca- to my eyes. The reddened petioles can be P- or N-, but by appearances, to me, it's not abnormal. I'd be hesitant to up the N too much here, but I think a slight bump in nitrogen may be in order here. But first, what pH range are you feeding at?
those are not brown spots, they are purple streaks, and they are fine, check out the thread in my signature, i have the exact same purple streaks, basically it's from flushing, the chlorophyll leaves the leaves, and you see the other colors underneath, just like with tree's outside right now...the cold weather is what makes it happen usually...it's a pretty thing and not a bad thing, just enjoy it...
*edit* i just noticed yours are at day 30, so ya you shouldn't be seeing it yet...i use the same nutes as you except for one thing...don't use the grow...just the micro and bloom, and use it per the instructions on this site... http://www.lucasformula.com/
your problem will go away! i promise!...basically for at least 2 more weeks give 8ml of micro and 16ml of bloom per gallon...i suspect you are under doing your nutes and you are showing a deficiency, when using the lucas formula, you don't need to dial down the exact thing your plants are showing you are missing, although it's plain to see you are low on most of your nutes, and by using the lucas formula when you see a deficiency, you just up the dose of the whole formula, and if it gets too strong you cut back on the lucas formula, but there is no guessing what bottle to use more or less of, and no bothering with whether it's potassium or a calcium def(and your low in nitrogen, and i would assume mag and phosphorus as well)...using the lucas formula will correct all your problems within a week, I GUARANTEE IT!
if i were to guess though i would say it's the nitrogen def making your leaves so light colored that you are seeing the pink in them, if they were nice and dark green the pink would still be there but you wouldn't see it till you start flushing as with mine down here>>>although there is also you have really purple stems, thats a pk def, and as seamaiden said ca is low as well...with gh fora nutes if your pk is low (thats mostly in gh bloom)you are also low in magnesium, so basically as i stated above...your a little low on everything, what dosages are you giving your girls? the lucas formula is the perfect dosages for almost any strain of pot so just switching to the dosages stated on the website i posted will fix all your problems.

I agree with Senor Sloth on what he said. I too believe you are just using too little nutes. It really isn't too bad if it's an 8 week strain, and I missed that in reading. They look very health though. Just up nutes a bit, then fall back down when closer to end.

Thanks for all the help guys I thought I might be underfeeding them but my fear was that it was the opposite. I dont give them full strength nutes very often I usually do a light feed with every watering but when I see my leaves curling down and burnt tips I just assume they are overfed and need less for a while. My water shows 35ppm before I mix any newts. I have well water so I didnt think I would need CalMag what do you all think should I be adding CalMag?

I still think it's Ca-, not late-flowering purpling, so I think you should be using supplemental Ca only, not Cal-Mag.

Sorry, I saw all the burned tips and assumed you werent underfeeding them
