High Sugahmama, Yes you are 100% right, this is caused by a magnesium deficiency. The cause of this deficiency could be underfeeding or overfeeding. And I do think that the problem in this case is a nutrient lockout due overfeeding. But it doesn't really matter you can fix both of these problems with a good flush of your soil and I will explain you how you can do that the best. You can do this flushing by slowly pour water pH 6.2 onto the top of the soil, allowing it to drain freely from the bottom of the pot. Pour slowly, so the water doesn't overflow from the top of the pot. Use approximately four times the pot's volume in water to flush the soil. For example, use 1 gallon of water for a 1 quart pot. After the flushing you need to let the soil (almost) dry out completely. When you did this just start giving nutrients with pH 6.2 and EC 1.2. From then just keep the pH 6.2 during your whole grow and up the EC with + EC 0.1 every week till you reached EC 1.8 (do not give more then EC 1.8) and just keep giving EC 1.8 till harvest. Happy Growing! 😋

flush and lower ph let pot dry a bit then start using cal mag in your feed you should problby want to make sure everything is flushed really good to get the ph where it needs, adding cal/mag will give the plants what they need to combat stress spots, also will help with yield later

with chlorosis accomanying the spots, it looks like a symptom of magnesium deficiency... But, if you have been oerfeeding it could easily be lockout too... problems with magnesium take 4-6 weeks to present themselves.. either it's been deficient for a month or it's reacting to being overfed. maybe that tidbit helps you rule out one or the other as you look back at what you have done.
