Sensi bloom part A and B. I will put 4ml of each in a gallon of water. I only used cal mag till it started to bud then I started using the sensi bloom . I'm using a gallon of water per feeding for two plants. The leaves started to change after the second feeding with sensi bloom and I feed them about once every 8-9 days, when they need it. My other plant is fine . Leaves look good. I'm not doing anything about the ph. Im new and learning as I go. I just want to grow nice healthy plants with lots of buds.
Any advice would be appreciated greatly.

They started doing that cause you stopped using calmag

This is a calmag deficiency for sure.
Also you mentioned you haven't been doing anything to PH. That's pretty important. Sometimes even if a plant has the right nutes but the PH is off, the plant can not absorb them.
In soil usually somewhere between 6.0 and 6.5 is a good PH for cannabis. Im not saying that the PH is the problem, but it a ph pen and adjustment solutions are a lifesaver and can save you trouble later.

And if you don’t wanna spring for the pen you can get ph drops in the pool section at Home Depot or on Amazon. And ph up/down will run you $20 for both. It’s pretty important.

ONE MONTH into flower? I have no idea if there's science to back this but if it were my plant, I'd chop all the big fan leaves that are jutting out.
This deep into flower you want all that energy going towards fattening the buds, not trying to keep damaged parts alive.
But also fix the calmag issue.

I flushed the plant today because I read that I should do that 2 weeks before its done, the little hairs are turning brownish quick and I figure in 2 weeks it should be time. I will take the fan leaves off like suggested, ( because I've never removed them before and thought I'd try) or should I not because it might stress it out? I hope me flushing it didn't F it up to much. Ill begin cal mag on my other plant again also. Thanks for the advice its much appreciated. Eventually I WILL kick ass at growing weed.

Leave the fan leaves on, don’t cut them off. They’re the reason photosynthesis is happening. There isn’t a single reason for you to cut anything, just feed the plant cal-mag. Also, if you’re 4 weeks into budding, you probably have more time left than you think. These flowers haven’t even begun swelling yet. Good luck, don’t rush this grow!

Also flushing in the way your describing for harvest is a myth!

Ill chime in I agree Trim back the biggest hanging Fans first baby her a little after it will increase your yield in my experience although like many such things there are differing opinions. I trim her down its a subtle nuance of growing I feel. I do it while doing LST, Fimming Topping etc. Many successful well known Growers swear by it check this out
. They explain it way better than me. Anyway have fun with it soooo much information out there and techniques to me thats half the allure of growing Bud. Cheers Grow on Dudes.

Please provide some information on your medium and fertilizer. What kind of light are you using? I agree with the others. It appears to be a nasty calcium deficiency. However, I have also experienced the same damage growing under LED quantum boards when the intensity was too much for the plant to take. I don't believe you are experiencing this though, because the damage is evident as much on your lower leaves as it is on your upper leaves indicating a systemic issue rather than localized. No need to tear off leaves. You will only shock the plant. Let me reassure you that your flowers look fantastic and I do not believe you're presently hindering flower development. Fan leaves can take some damage while the flowers come out unscathed. In a nutshell what I would advise is first and foremost - relax! Your flowers look great! Give us some more information about your grow environment, fertilizer regimen, and medium so we can provide more accurate assistance. Without knowing anything more I would water in or top dress with a good calcium supplement to address the deficiency.
