Blueberry question: some leaves turning russet/reddish

I am a relatively novice blueberry grower - I planted 14 blueberry plants over the last 2-3 years. Some are thriving, with nice dark green leaves.

On some of the other plants, some of the leaves are turning a russet or reddish color. I am guessing this is some type of nutrient deficiency, but don't know what I should add. (See photo).

Notes:
I've already added Espoma Soil Acidifer, thinking that the reddish leaves might be caused by soil that is too basic. The plants are in soil that is heavy clay, but when I planted them I dug out a bushel of soil and replaced it with a mix of compost and topsoil.
