If you have a way to check your Ph I would do that. Wrong Ph can cause issues with Magnesium and other nutrients. In the future Find yourself a Ph meter, acid and base and correct your Ph before adding it. Only make changes after all the nutes are added.
This isnt Nitrogen toxicity. If you've been feeding them normally it takes a bit to make soil toxic. Dont get me wrong, it happens but not like hydro. Nitrogen toxicity is best shown with "clawing" leaves. The last half an inch or so turn straight down. Look at the lower left one of the fingers is showing a bad example of what I'm talking about. The whole plant may not be affected
Some strains just have purple/red stems. It's fairly common. They usually start out red though.
What you have in my opinion is simply the end of the plant. As the flower stage comes closer to the end it consumes the last little bit of Nitrogen in the fan leaves. It will probably get worse, but that's ok. When you see a yellow leaf dont pull it, let it drop off. If you pull it the plant will pick another leaf
Plant looks good. Nice job

Ph is a tad high, if you can get to 6 you're good. If it's always been high then Ph to 5.5. You will probably see a difference in your plant It's never too late for this. The thing with Ph is if it's out of whack your plant wont be able to take in certain elements. When in dirt you should move the Ph around a bit so all the elements are bioavailable to the plant. Hydro is different. A middle of the road Ph will satisfy all the elements. Learn this and it will help a major aspect to growing. Everyone picks the thrashed leaves... you're not alone. If you pick the leaves the plant will just move to the next one. Here is a couple plants that are almost ready for the chop. The leaves are discolored primarily because the plant is about ripe If you ever have questions give me a ring.

A link to a thread showing a graph and how Ph effect bioavailability
Again, hydro is different if you chose to grow like that theres a completely different graph
