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

Looking to find out how long you need to reveg a clone Taken 2 weeks into flower. I believe it's called Monster cropping in was just curious if you had to wait for the new growth to be completely normal or could you flower it once it hits say three leaves. any info welcome thanks

Magnesium Deficiency?
Is this plant suffering from Magnesium deficiency? I noticed some of the growth is yellowing and the leaves are curling upwards at the tips. The tips of the leaves is where most of the discoloration is as well.

Possible manganese deficiency?
I fixed some previous issues and have not been feeding my plants. They are in peat and worm castings and pearlite. About 6.6ph soil, watering with 6.5-6.6 water. I am going to water with nutrients again to see if that helps just want to hear another opinion.

Brown spots on tips of some leaves
4 leaves affected on only one plant. All plants are receiving same feeding and are from same clones. Based on photo and googling it looks awfully lot like P deficiency? I'm still in vegetation phase though. I'm feeding with Advanced Hydroponics Grow + Bloom + Micro based on chart

Nutrition deficiency or nute solution on leaves during watering?
Hi Growmies,during my monitoring routine I found some brown spots on the leaves. Not many but on some leaves the brown spots have become transparent and I can see through the leaves. Any ideas what could have caused the brown spots? Perhaps not enough CalMag? Rest looks healthy.

The leaves have become glossy and yellow
The last couple of days, the leaves have lifted a bit again and bent the edges, and the leaves are glossy, was it a mistake to keep the light on 24h the first week, or what do the last couple of pics look like? (I have now set the mode to 18/6) so as not to fry the plant

Guess on what this is?
Unsure what this issue might be. PH seems in check going in and out. Getting mainly Fox Farms nutrients - got very weak doses of B-52 and CalMag a week or two ago. The other two plants are fine.

Brown spots
brown spots began to appear, could this be due to watering with PH 6.0, maybe too little and calcium is not absorbed? PH of water with each watering 6.0
