Black spots on leaves

started grow question 2y ago
So I have those black spots on leaves on top of the canopy of my plants. Can someone please explain what are those and how can I treat it? Also the edges of the leaves on top of the canopy are brown and crispy.

The burnt tips are a nutrition/pH issue. The black blotches could be a fungal problem due to poor air exchange/high humidity.

Brown dark spots on fan leaf
Any clue what this is? It only appeared on 1 of the plants and only on 1 of the fan leaves. The brown color has kind of a metallic shine to it. My guess is that it’s a Cal. def. I also suspect it might be a Phosphorus def. as the plants turned dark green the last few days.

Calcium deficiency?
Saw this little brown/yellow parts today. She is in BioBizz LightMix Soil and gets 0.3ml/L BioBizz CalMag 3x per week. pH is above 6.5 . Today I gave her 1ml/L CalMag. Was this the right choice? Is this a calcium deficiency?

Leaves turn brown all of a sudden
What could these brown parts mean? They show up randomly, also on lower leaves, so couldn’t be the light being too close? Thanks!

Many or low nutrients?
Hello Growers What could it be? I thought it would be a nutrient deficiency (EC-1.0) so I picked up the nutrients to EC-1.4, but it's getting worse. Do you think they'd have a lot of nutrients?

Spotting issue consistent in all my grows. Have always thought Cal deficient but more Cal never fixes the issue. PH always checked with 2 PH pens 6.2-6.8.
Always pops up around the same time in flower.. week 4/5. Brown irregular spots and occasional curling down on the fan leaves. The only things I have consistently used in all the grows is the LED light, RO water, and CALiMAGic. Switched to dry organics but now its back. N toxic?
