Hey Guys, need your help please. It's FD 28 and the leaves of my three White Widows show some signs of a nutrient deficiency (at least my assumption).I'm growing in living soil w/o any additional fertilizer and watering with a 7:3 mix of osmose/tap water and 0,5 ml/l CalMag.

Magnesium deficiency... the interveinal chlorosis coinciding with rust spots is more likely Mg-deficiency. It's very possibly to lock it out with too much p or k -- which often is instructed by the peanut gallery. it's not foie gras. we cannot force feed it to increase its metabolism. if you changd formulas over last 2-3 weeks consider those changes as likely part of the cause. this stuff takes time to present veisibl symtoms. if p an k are not too high and pH is proper, then i'd wager it is Mg deficiency. After looking at diary.. your organic soil isn't going to make it till the end. better give it more than calmag. < 2 mL per gal? what is that 5-10ppm? if your amended soil is starting to run out of stuff, be reasy to supplement it. take notes on timeframe of how it plays out. if you stick to same soil next time can preemptively supplement befoer symptoms occur.

Potassium doesn't spot up like that if you have a deficiency. It dies back leaf tip and serrated leaf edges in a uniform way generally. Toxicity I am not sure how that manifests. One things that does manifest in the way your plant is displaying is lack of Calcium. The necrotic spots look exactly like it. You also half leaf tip burn which indicates over feeding or a salt build up in your medium. To my eyes it looks like you have a few issues which suggests to me your need to give your soil a flush to remove salt build up and to give the medium a good drench with a 6.2 pH value. Then let soil dry out till the pots feel light. Then re-feed with a bloom feed and add some calmag at a pH of 6.2

Yes it is potassium deficiency. Flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3. Potassium is the most important during Flowering.
