yellowing leaves and red stems

It's a good bet that your mileage will vary.
"i phoned my hydro shop and was advised that i could give 5-3-3 to up the Nitrogen."
Yes you could. But it would be a bad idea.
Look up "excess nitrogen, in flower".
Hydro store solutions usually have you buying something, yah?
Your leaves do look like low nitrogen, and also like "Iron deficiency anemia".
And the necrosis would seem to indicate several different deficiencies.
Don't chase geese
Keep in mind, that actual deficiencies are fairly rare.
It's more common that the plant simply can not make use of a particular element for any of several reason.
The most common is out-of-range PH.
Your symptoms seem to indicate an uptake problem.
Since your PH is stable, they might indeed have enough root room.
(PH usually varies widely with root bound plants.)
Show us a picture of the new growth and we'll try to see if deficiencies are still indicated.
Meanwhile, I know that you are itching to do something.
So, I suggest that you ad some calmag, or Blackstrap molasses to your next watering.
Is that the fix?
Perhaps not, but it is a good idea in flower, and will do no harm.
Adding nitrogen to a flowering plant will inhibit flowering.
If the plant does take it in, the leaves will turn dark green, krinkle up, and the pistils will be stunted.
Bottom line.
I could be wrong, (it happens), but I will not offer advice that could hose your plants.
No profit in that, for me.
Aloha, grow on.
