Hey everyone, thanks in advance for your help. I'm on day 38 of flowering an indoor Strawberry Cough and my larger fan leaves are taking on a yellow/orange splotchy color. It does not rub off, so I don't think it's a mold or fungus. Do you think this is a sign of a nutrient deficiency? Maybe it needs more Calcium? Ph is 6.4, feeding 1/2 strength of the FoxFarm Soil regimen of Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Cha Ching twice a week. I know I have a bit of nutrient burn on the tips from overfeeding earlier in blooming, but the leaf color change is something new.
Calcium Deficiency during flowering?

Way overfed causing low pH and lockouts. I would personally pH a little higher if you grow in peat based soil.
If you feed with every watering you probably could get away with 1/4 strength. I would give it tap water for a couple of waterings til the dark green/blue start to fade to lighter colour then continue feeding with lower strength.

Foliar spray cal mag. You do have a deficiency and you’re right in the time window for it to show.
