Help needed - harvest time?Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

Ec rising in hydro (6th week flowering - closed circuit tank and drip)At the end of every day, EC rises by 0.2 at least. Starts at 1.60 and then in their evening it goes up to 1.83 ! So I have to add water (2L) in order to go down. Does it have to do with the fact they had overfeeding, toxicities and deficiency so they don't feed well ?

Spots on yellowing leaves Brown spots on dying yellow leaves. This has happened on most of my plants after budding so thinking it may be a soil problem. My guess is boron, manganese or phosphorus as the stems on some plants are red. It starts low and eventually ends affecting buds too so I chop.

Unknown rust on 7th flowering week This started as what I thought was a cal/mag deficiency, bought some, gave it for a week at a good dose and 6.3ph, and this intensified and switched from just lower leaves to the upper and a few sugar leaves on one plant. Any ideas? May calmag takes awhile? Or wrong diagnosis?

Is this definitely CalMag deficiency? Check diary for video.Before I go to over the top with the CalMag in a stupid attempt to nurse my plants back to health I just want to know for certain what it is. The leaves are clawing, bronze spots everywhere but the smallest of the 3 doesn't seem to be suffering as much.. what is it?!
