Crispy brown leaves

northern light is showing yellow and brown leaves at the top and the bottom of the plant. These leaves are thin and crispy like if they are about to fall off. I am watering it 2 to 3 times per week and started adding a bit of cal mag last week when they started showing brown dots
Solved
Week 6
Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Hey pal. After growing some fastbuds and looking thru diaries and also reading your diary you aren't giving enough of cal mag as you are giving everything else 2ml per l of strong marco nutes but on trace nutes you are giving 0.3 which 2ml alone in some cases isn't enough as these are only trace elements in your cal mag it'll only be like 3-4% and even less on mg and other micro nutes. It's very hard to get cal mag/micro nute toxs. Focus on micro nutes and push your ml up to 2ml/l of cal mag and even higher as the grow moves on. Chill out on the grow for now as some leafs are looking like they also have some light N tox. Very green shiny leafs. I might be wrong as pics are dif when the lights on or flash. Good luck pal.

Thank you all for the suggestions, really appreciated. It looked like robert and gottagrosometime suggested there was a lack of cal mag. I got rid of the affected leaves and increased the cal mag amount as you can see from the new pictures my northern light is getting much better

Botrytis mould from an overly humid atmosphere or too wet soil constantly. Cut off all the bad leaves, ditch the humidifier and increase the air circulation, otherwise you will have bigger problems going forward. I noticed most of it seems to be on your NL plant, the one right next to th humidifier! Also make sure they are not sitting in puddles of water for extended time periods, any excess water that does not get "sucked up" by the plant in 20 minutes needs to be removed from the saucers.

Could be lacking some nutrients. Try adding some liquid bone meal every other feeding. A touch of molasses can help the plant get some extra energy too. After a couple feedings pinch off any decaying leaves. That should make room for new growth

Looks like cal mag deficiency. Need to increase dose as plant gets bigger and more run off is happening.
