Now then,it still could be Calcium.How long have you been adding Cal-Mag it could take more than a week,and is it only on the older leaves.Big difference between old and new leaves.The old leaves may stay with the damage but as long as its stopped and hasn't moved up the plant or got any worse then I'd say it was Calcium.Potassium deficiency doesn't look that different but the patches are dark brown instead of rusty like these.

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.Leaves. Color - Yellow

Die andere Pflanze hat diese Mängel aber nicht, beide wurden gleich gegossen, etc. Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen DolomitKalk und Worm Casting benutzt.7mo ago

Is this a disease caused by a lack of calcium and magnesium?I pruned these problematic leaves during the flowering period, wondering whether this would lead to a decrease in yield. Calcium and magnesium were added every time I applied fertilizer. What caused the disease? Overnutrition burn?Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Brown Patches on Older LeavesSlight yellowing and brown mottled patches.
Only on one of the two plants and they’ve been treated and fed exactly the same.
On some older fan leaves, no signs of anything on new growth.
Anything to worry about at this stage? Maybe just a sensitive pheno?
Any advice appreciated.Week 7
