first of all, heres some information you might need:
area of grow space is about 12 sq feet with 600w light, a fan on the floor and an rvk 125-a1 extractor fan.
im doing an indoor grow with white widow in 4th week flowering.
temps at night are 18.6c with 55% humidity, and temps in day time go up to about 28-30c with not much difference in humidity - roughly 40-50%.
watering roughly every 2 days with biobloom, topmax, hesi tnt complex, superthrive and plant magic - ph adjusted to 6.5. the ph runoff is about 7, but the ph of the feed going in is about 6.5.
growing medium is soil - biobizz light mix.
i've had a problem with my plants leaves for a while with the plants leaves going rusty and yellow. the problem doesnt seem severe to me and to me i think it is a minor issue. not so long ago, i flushed my plant to see if that would help with the problem but doesnt seem to have really helped. after flushing, i did gradually build up the feed again.
as you can see in the pictures, my plant doesnt seem too healthy. on some of the leaves i seem to be getting some rusty spots on leaves that turn a lighter green/yellow colour. the top of the plant seems more of a pale green with the occasional yellowing between leaf veins and some rusting... the middle-bottom of the plant seems otherwise healthy except from the damaged leaf here and there.

a few damaged leaves in the middle of the plant:

since noticing the problem i have added hesi tnt complex to the mix (around week 3 flowering) to see if this would help me out with my problems as i stupidly didnt bother adding any veg nutes to the mix (which im supposed to) i have checked the ph runoff and been adjusting the ph of the feed too. its been about a week now and when the new leaves start forming, they are green at first but then gradually start getting a .................
i honestly dont understand how it could be a nute def. when i've used these nutes before and am using topmax and biobloom together (which should give out enough nutes to the plant) one thing i have thought it could be is something to do with the plant needing to be repotted or a buildup of salts in the plant that i didnt fully get rid of last time? i've used these nutes on other grows with next to no problems (and that was before i had a ph meter and adjusted ph!)
nothing much has changed since the last grow to the time i started to get problems with the plant. hopefully i have gave out enough detailed information so i can get a more deffinate answer this time... last time i dont think i was detailed enough for the problem to be understood.
so far i know that:
insects are 100% not causing me any problems.
PH doesnt seem to be a problem.
it isn't wind burn!
i dont think this would be a nute burn..
i'm not overwatering/underwatering.
possible problems it could be:
salt buildup?
is my plant one hungry girl?
could the temps/humidity cause any problems like this?
could there be a nute deficiency, if so, then why now.. i havent had problems with my other babys (lemon skunk)
can a lack of oxygen to the rootzone cause problems similar to this?
light bleaching - can light bleaching cause rusty spots?
another possible thing could be the fact im using water straight from the tap - i can remember having problems before and started to let the water sit, and i think this might have helped one of the problems i had. i'm not 100% sure as i can't remember lol!
i'm just trying to rule out all of the problems it can't be, so then i've got a list of possible problems so its easier for me to see where i could be going wrong!
++rep to anybody that can give me a good answer to my problem!
