PH imbalance. I would calibrate your ph meter if it's reading normal ranges.

It just looks like a ph issue. Also if your following label directions with your nutes, the full dose would be for outdoor plants, not for indoors. Go half what the label says for indoor. If their autos go even easier than that.

Black spots?
Is this a deficiency, nutrient burn, or disease, growing in MG soil, recovering from overwatering as well.

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

Brown/Grey spots on the leaves
Hey, I hope this is my last question for this grow :P I've noticed some brown/grey spots on the yellowing leaves, what could they be, deficiencies or sunburn? I'm still feeding the plant with nutes, but the next watering will be a flush, so I didn't expect discoloring before that

Weed doctors to the rescue
Day 44, fb auto, my happy girl developed those dark spots at the top... Is this a Calmag deficiency? Although I'm giving her calmag every feeding. I think there are also first burnt tips. I'm about to water her tonight, what should or should not give her? Thanks for your inputs🙏

Black spots spreading // Need your help!
Anyone got a clue what this dark spots could be? It started in a corner of the tent with 1 plant a few weeks ago and now it has spread to another. I suspect pH issues and a nutrient lockout bc of that. Not sure if its the same issue though..Could be an infection as well...
