If I see brown rust spots like the 2nd pic I know I need some Epsom salt for magnesium. if the leaves start turning a lighter green like the first pic it’s time to add more nitrogen and if you start seeing that weird yellowish green like the 2nd pic add Calcium or calmag

I'm having the same issue with Triangle Kush, at the moment. I know the soil-less mix has enough nutrients in it....but, I screwed up and did not pH my water/fertilizer (which was acidic) last time and so I created a lockout. Instead of jumping all over the Cal-Mag (like I've done many times in the past), I will adjust the pH of my next watering to be slightly higher-than-normal in order to correct the problem. Once the pH is corrected, the plants will be able to absorb what is already there for them.

Don't over correct, just use normal PH nutrient solution.

Need more info to give a proper answer like what's she's being fed with and how often?
ph water around 6.5 happyfrog soil with peatmoess I'd say 70happy/30peatmoss my Temps is 77 to 80 I haven't feed autos went into 5 gallon buckets roots coming out the bottom so my guess is hunger?
 
Yeah, sounds like regular old Hungry Plants.

Generally, 5 gallons of soil will take care of a plant for about a month. If you cut the Happy Frog soil with peat moss it could be running out of juice even faster.

The lack of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium is showing, but the soil is probably running out of everything else too.

So find some way to fertilize. And when you do, use a Complete Fertilizer, with everything in it. Don't mess around trying to find the perfect 1 ingredient, 1 element fix. Like skip the calmag or epsom salt and just use a complete "Veg" or "Flower" fertilizer.

Happy frog doesnt have a whole lot of nutrition in it. You're going to need to start supplementing some nutrients now.
