Hey bro, fellow sufferer. Some food for thought:
Having the same issues you are for the past 10 months. I have grown 2 good smallish plants but have butchered all the rest. Same colors, same issues.
Sulfur is most likely the issue here, gets that nitrogen starved look because feeding doesn't help it since the plant is unable to use nitrogen properly because of the sulfur deficiency/lockout. I think it's something with modern LED panels. They bring out the nitrogen whores that our plants are and this nitrogen uptake is using the sulfur in the mix quickly till the plant can't get nitrogen from the roots and just gets it from the leaves, (along with sulfur), instead, hence the yellowing and poor growth. Adding sulfur, or something with sulfide, helps but in mid flower and later it doesn't do more than slow the process down. At least that's what I'm seeing. And if it is a sulfur lockout feeding it sulfur and nitrogen is pointless.
There are some cheap soil analyzer companies nowadays. Not a bad idea really. Raising your lights isn't a bad idea cause it slows the process down a bit but is not ideal either. Re-Charge can stop the issue momentarily but you can't use Re-Charge all the time. BTW proper ph-ing during veg solved my red/purple stem issues so definitely get a decent pen. Things like that have helped me put off or temporarily stop the issues you're experiencing in flower but I haven't solved this issue since IMO it's about my mix, (FoxFarms OF x 2 and HF x 1). I'm definitely changing my mix around abit. Adding compost, more worm shit. And I'm adding a little Espoma soil acidifier, but not much. I don't want to mess with my PH too much.
Anyway I hope what I posted here helps. Good Luck and keep ya head up cause it ain't just you.
