I bet its potassium deficiency since the new shoots are also getiing discolored and the discolorement starts at the sides and creeps to the center of the leaf. Watch this for more information:

Brown spots on older fan leaves
Spotted some brown spots on 2 of the older fan leaves today. Any thoughts on what the issue may be? Does not rub off- was worried about rust at first. Some more info that could be helpful is that I am using RO water. Thinking about rasing the lights a little higher up too.

Brown spreading spots
Hi there! I found some strange brown spots on my tangerine dream, which are spreading. It looked like a burn, but the ,,burnt“ patches are not crunchy! Do you guys know what it could be?

Spotting issue consistent in all my grows. Have always thought Cal deficient but more Cal never fixes the issue. PH always checked with 2 PH pens 6.2-6.8.
Always pops up around the same time in flower.. week 4/5. Brown irregular spots and occasional curling down on the fan leaves. The only things I have consistently used in all the grows is the LED light, RO water, and CALiMAGic. Switched to dry organics but now its back. N toxic?

1. Over Fed (seaweed?) 2. Burnt? Cauliflower.. 3. Calcium Deficiency 4. Hydrogen peroxide 12% Food-grade 30/70 Mix. Personally I think it's the hydrogen peroxide 12% mix, the hydrogen gave one of its atoms to the neuron of the Diatomaceous earth metal clay. With help from heat

Cal-mag issue that won't go away
I keep getting a cal-mag deficiency. I have been using 1ml per liter of water - 4ml roughly per gallon. It is only 1 plant, the same which has had the same cal-mag issue since early veg. I include cal-mag every watering and nutrient feed day. You can see images for reference

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?

Browning leaves? Did a soil slurry and dropped the water from 6.8 to 6.2. Does that mean it’s locking out? How should I go about fixing this? In peat pearlite and worm castings. Added about 6 cups of lime to the 20 gallons of soil thought that should have helped the ph?

Chocolope Tent (Nutrient Lockout?)
My choclope photoperiod plant gets brown spots while her sister receives too little nutrition. I think it's a nutrient lockout. (2/3 weeks left from harvest) Ladies get Plagron COCO A+B and Green Senations. I don't see any mold, air circulation is good.

Burn, deficiency or other?
I’m completely stumped as to why my one plant is showing signs of deficiency or burn. Used the exact amount of fertilizer per plant. One plant is fine and the other looks terrible. I used a half dose of cal mag and it seems to have stopped but is not drinking or looking better.
