Not at all enjoy. Fyi to all I'm a noob this is the first plant I have ever had get this far. I've started a few junk seeds out of bags I've gotten but this is the first ever plant I have ever had that really grew buds.

Should I worry about this, this close to the end? Not even sure if it's a mag def or a K def.

I think your pH is off. It's causing the purple veins and petioles. It looks like a calmag deficiency, but I suspect your pH is low. That meter in the pic is not very accurate. I would recommend getting a good pH meter, and doing a runoff test to be sure. If you correct the pH it will recover but still keep the leaf damage you already have. If you don't have calmag to add, I would get some for the next grow. As always, I fully recommend you ask Waira in the infirmary though. Waira knows everything about every soil type. I'm a hydro guy.

Unfortunately without a reliable pH test you cannot really know for sure if it is deficiency or a pH lockout of primary nutes. The fact that these are older leaves showing deficiency symptoms, that indicates mobile nutrients are not getting to the new growth and the plant is moving them from old tissues. A good foliage spray can help it recover faster.
