It looks like a Calmag deficiency. I would add some with your next feeding. 1tsp/gal and the problem should stop. The rust spots on the leafs won't go away but shouldn't spread or get worsem

Leaf damage/discolouration
The yellowing is from an earlier issue but now I'm noticing brown spots and the leaves curling up, some getting crispy-ish. I recently lowered the lights a few inches, knowing I was pushing the safe limits. Is this from the lights or is more likely a nutrient/pH imbalance?

Leaf necrosis
What's going on with mk Ultra? It gets Neem every 2-3 days, and I have tried to keep pH down to 6. This has been going on since I got the clone, and it continues to happen. The pink kush (last pic) has a few similar spots. Lights are 50cm above.

Upward Curling Brown Leaves/Nutrient Lock Out?
I've got a serious issue. Started 3-4 days ago, right after adding nutrients and increasing light. Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon. Both new and old growth is being effected. Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much.

What is this brown spot?
What is this brown spot? 18” from light. Just fed about 10 hours ago with dr.Earth 1-1-1 liquid solution watered in with 1/4 gallon of water. It is the only spot on whole plant. I know the temps are high. Wondering if it could be something else.
