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

First time growing/Need help in late flower
Over the last 9 days my plant has gone from happy and healthy to sugar leaves pointing straight up near the top of plant and drying and curling up on the lower levels. Is this from too much light or did I over feed late in flower? First grow/ no diary. Can I save or do I chop?

My plants are suffering a Phosphorus deficiancy due to lockout due to low ph of soil. My first flush only helped for a while. As soon as the medium gets too dry damage resumes. what should I do? I went to check on them today and the amount of damage they took in 24 hours was bad.

Phosphorus def in veg?
Phosphorus deficiency in wk 4 of veg? I noticed a few small discolored blotches on lower leaves 2 days ago and today it is a lot worse! Use flora trio, and 2 other plants in this run are under same conditions with same nutes. Could this be a pH issue? PH has been consistently ~6.

leaves dry and curling up
Gelato canopy leaves continue to dry and canoeing up. I've backed off the lights, changed the air circulation, and gave only water in the last week, but the situation is just getting worse. Canopy buds are not growing and trichomes production is much higher in the lower branches

Brown yellow leaves?
Can anyone help me? I had this issue with my last early Miss and thought it was a cal mag deficiency. I tried to adjust it last time during flower but it didn’t help. I really only notice it on one of them so far but I would like to fix the problem sooner than later.

Top leaves turn dark and curl - What can I do?
I've had Nitrogen and possible Cal/Mag deficiencies 2 weeks ago. Mid last week I started noticing some burn a the tips, so i dialed nutrients back again. By this weekend the tips of the leaves curled further and turned dark. The rest still looks a bit pale, but buds look good.

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.

Help diagnose hydroponic plants! Too much light/heat? Nutrient issue?
The plant's leaves on the right are wilting and drying out, while the leaves on the left are spiking. Just did a nutrient/water change but it didn't help, and it looks like growth is being stunted on the right plant. Humidity has been around 45-55 rh and temp 70-80F

Brown leaves - what am I doing wrong, folks?
They look yellow in the photo, under 250W of blue light, but they are brown. This starts at the tips of the large lower leaves and spreads quickly to the whole leaf. Also modest edge curl. What am I doing wrong here, folks?

Burnt? PH lock-out? too much Cal-mag??
What do you think is wrong with this plant? All the other plants surrounding her are fine so I'm not sure what went wrong with this one. I thought it was cal-mag deficiency at first so I doubled cal-mag when feeding but it only proceeded to get worse. The buds look fine tho 👍😳

Dry brittle leaves
Discoloured older leaves curling up at the edges and turning dry and brittle. I think my problem is over or under watering. I've been very careful to avoid overwatering so I'm leaning towards the latter but what I've read online suggests dry/brittle means overwatering. Thoughts?
