Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

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

Seeing some top bud leaf discoloration
Starting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves. Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves. Could it be signs of anything else? Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity

Listless plant
What would cause this specific plant to look so droopy and sad? Had to cut out some totally dead growth. I’m at week 7, is it too late to help it?

In the 3rd photo in week 12 there is spotting on the leaves. Does anyone have an idea of what that is from? A deficiency? I had trouble getting the nutrients right and that showed up first after I flushed for a few days.

Organic peat control
I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

Black marks on leaves of a slow grower.
Noticed there's black markings on the edges of the leaves on our slowest growing plant. My initial thought was water droplets sitting on it before it had fully broken out or could it be something else?

At what stage do leaves get darker ? This is confusing
I overwatered them at the beginning of veg and then I fed them with 0.7 ec nutes max, EC would go up if I gave more. I've had tips burning probably from light too close. I find that leaves are pretty dark but it may be because of the strains. When leaves do get darker in flo ?
