I think lt looks like P abundance which will lockout Magnesium and calcium

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

Continuing calmag deficiency
What I think is a calmag deficiency started about 10 days ago. At first I thought it was too low PH (6.0 - 6.1), so I corrected that, but no luck. Then I started adding biobizz calmag, still no luck. It seems that the deficiencies are picking up speed again. Any ideas appreciated

Deficiencies while in late flowering during flushing period
There is deficiency going on (looks like cal) she is an auto flowering strain in her 9th week and been flushed for a week now. Should I give her cal/mag and stop the flushing or is it too late to deal with that? She looks like she will be ready to chop in a week or so.

Burn, deficiency or other?
I’m completely stumped as to why my one plant is showing signs of deficiency or burn. Used the exact amount of fertilizer per plant. One plant is fine and the other looks terrible. I used a half dose of cal mag and it seems to have stopped but is not drinking or looking better.

Rusty Leaves
3 upper fan leaves have "rusty" brown spots on the upper side. Hard to spot, hard to capture on camera. I also have slight "clawing" on many of the upper leaves. Mg/Ca lockout because of nitrogen toxicity possible? Doesn´t seem to be fungi, as there are no spores to rub off.

Brown rust spots on oldest leaves
Brown rust spots on oldest biggest leaves with curling inward - the rest of the flower is fine, just some occasional small yellow spots. No sign of pests. Maintaining pH ~6.5 but have soft water. Suspect cal/mag deficiency or nitrogen toxicity. Thoughts?

What deficiency is this ?
What is happening to my plant right now ? I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks. Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil. Started around 6th week

Is this really a potassium defiency? Any suggestions how to deal with it?
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.

Deficiency?? Excess? Neither?
Grown this strain before and had the same issue.. not sure if its a CalMag deficiency entirely. pH has remained at 6.0-6.5 or so in soil and didnt show signs until recently, seemed to have worsened after just two days of only CalMag and Ro water so I bumped up the bloom nutes.

Calcium deficiency, cal-mag now in hand, water now, or wait for normal scheduled water? Last water yesterday.
Plants are suffering from an early stage of calcium deficiency, received a bottle of cal-mag today. Watered last night cause I didn't want to wait any longer. Should I wait for my next water (2 more days) or give a single dose of Cal-mag now, to get some calcium to the plant?
