Hey RabaneteBrasil, how's it going? Welcome! I’ve had the same problem, and it’s really annoying to fix. Check out my NL diary to get an idea of how I progressed. The important thing is not to remove the affected leaves; despite their appearance, I got the best results in terms of yield. No doubt you’re having issues with mineral absorption; I see calcium and magnesium as others have mentioned, but to diagnose correctly, I’d like to suggest a few measures and give you some tips to avoid this. I’d like to suggest: A / RUNOFF - take a look at the pH of the runoff; if it’s too acidic and PPM or EC is high, there are salts present in the substrate causing the problem or overfert. If you don’t have a meter, there are simple strips sold in grow shops that are pretty cheap, and it’s important to regulate the pH of all waterings to around 6.5. B / One tip I can give you, if you have access, is to use a product with beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae. I use Recharge, which has various types, and I highly recommend it. It’s really worth checking out and testing; it basically prevents this type of absorption problem and roots better, along with pH and nutrient lockouts. C / Another maneuver I would try if you do the tests I mentioned in point A and it’s positive would be a flush, and finally, I would give a calcium and magnesium supplement, as correctly mentioned, beforehand. D / Also, take a look at your watering practices; wait for the substrate to be dry by testing with your finger up to the second knuckle and feeling the weight of the pot to avoid excess or deficiency. Fabric pots help a lot in this regard and speed up plant growth. 15L works very well for autos. I hope it works out, and if you need anything, I’m here. Cheers and good luck with everything!

Hey brother! It seems to me that you're having nutrient issues, specifically calcium and phosphorus maybe, and there also seems to be a nitrogen deficiency causing the yellowing or spotted leaves. Try watering only with water next time, and don't give them so many waterings, that's too much water and nutrients...

The spots are calcium deficiency the how and why are harder to measure in my opinion your plant is growing up close to the plant and she is using calcium and magnesium quicker than her roots can supply it. I’m he easiest fix is to raise the light some and watch to see if it still progresses. If it does give it a small dose of cal/mag

You are not measuring EC/PPM levels or pH of your watering feeding so that makes it harder to pinpoint the problem. When analyzing your pictures I see two glaring issues: 1) the first, the one you point in the "WTF day 36" picture looks like textbook calcium deficiency; 2) In other pictures you can see some mid lower leaves with burned tips and edges; 3) You mention a daily water volume of 1 liter, which is a lot, specially if you are feeding every time. I think you might have P-K toxicity, either because the dose is too high or you are using it too often; this in turn locks out other nutrients, specifically calcium. It could also be a simple calcium deficiency or just your pH been out of range, preventing the plant from taking calcium. As for your feedings, don't feed more than once a week and water thoroughly and let it dry, it should take you around 7 days in a 11 liter/3 gallon pot.
