Lowers getting blotchy yellow minor rusty spots? 4th week of flower...P/K issues?

What's making these lowers blotchy yellow with some 'rust' spots? Any ideas? I think it's probably a P/K issue, am I underfeeding? Blumat drip system, Promix HP, Maxibloom @3.5g per gal. Ca/Mg @ 5ml per gallon. pH @5.8-6.2.

Hey there LeastExpected, so a few things are happening right now , basically it's from an imbalance in your NPK ratio. in flower you really want something like NPK 4-8-8 , right now you're at something like 2-4-8 , so right away you can tell you're going to be missing phosphorous, so what you're seeing in terms of yellowing is actually signs of K excess as well as P-deficiency. If you can find a way to add P that would help make your ratio better, and the problem will stop spreading almost immediately. Hope this helps ! 🚀

In the diary it says your growing in soil. But your feeding with Ph for coco. Try ph between 6.0 and 6.8

With being in flowering and tips being straight, and burnt I would recommend more potassium.

I don't think you are under feeding. You have burnt tips up top. If anything just feed slightly more Ca/Mg. Cheers!
