First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)
I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

Brown dark spots on fan leaf
Any clue what this is? It only appeared on 1 of the plants and only on 1 of the fan leaves. The brown color has kind of a metallic shine to it. My guess is that it’s a Cal. def. I also suspect it might be a Phosphorus def. as the plants turned dark green the last few days.

Brown spots on bud site leaves?!
halfway through flower and now in week 6 flower one of my plants is showing some large brown spots on only the upper leaves. I’m not sure if it’s a light or ph issue as the light is close. I stopped cal mag and some nitrogen this week but spots were showing up before.

The last few days I had 3 plants start not looking so hot. The 3 pictures are the 3 plants when I got home today. I haven't really encountered deficiencies, if it's even that. I'm watering at 5.8 and last I checked the runoff a 2 days ago it was 6.8. Any ideas?

I believe I light burned my plants when I put in my second 300W LED. Plant's yellowing on tops and drooping and canoeing. Have just switched to 12/12 light 4 days ago. And started to feed Flowering mix of 9ml pure blend pro and 1.5ml cal-mag per 4L. Feed every water.
