Not sure if that's nutrients. Might be bunched up leaves, too much moisture, no light sort of thing. I wouldn't worry about that, but if you check on the left there, th ere's a curled leaf, touching the fanleaf below it...it might've been something like that.

More rusty spots See this now on more and more leaves. Only upper fan leaves that get good light exposure seem to be affected from this and also the clawing. Have backed off the nutes completely for now and will add ground egg shells to the water in the hope its a Ca deficiency.

Please say it ain't bud mold :(Noticed a brown spot on my center cola last night. This morning it progressed so I removed it. I'm noticing browning on nearby leaves. It may be nute burn (I have been heavy on them), and I did recently increase light intensity to full two days ago, but my temps are ~74f. Pls no!
