Why are my chocolope plants stems turning purple and some of the leaves are turning yellow and falling off about 4 - 5 feet tall.

What does the rest of the plant look like? Leaves nice & green? Any signs of wilting or curling or anything bad?
Lets see some pics.

The pics aren't bad. Thanks for posting them.
The plants look good, you might want to consider boosting the nitrogen a little.
What kind of nutrients do you give them?
It's normal for the older, lower leaves to eventually turn yellow & fall off as their efficiency declines.
How old are the plants?
What kind of lighting is that?
How much longer until you flower them?

400 w metal halide in a 4 x 4 x 7.5 grow hut side back light t5 flouresent. Two fans one pointing towards the light, and one oscilating fan blowing on the plants. Aswell I have a small intake fan and a humidifier. Hopefully I can keep these as my Mother plants. Nutrients I am using is Flora Nova Grow with synergy, I just got some cal mag to boost the nutrients (just used it once so far), and I just got blood meal but dont know what to do with it. I have 5 more plants in my other room that looks allot healthier. I will post those in a sec I do not know which ones I should use for my mother plants though...

Thank you very much for your reply sorry that I am all over the place.

I will post the details of the second room with the pics...
