FloraNova Bloom problem

So Swim started feeding his NL ladies from seed about 12 days ago with FNB. That was the first dosage so far and was set at .5 EC or 300-350 ppm at 5.3 Ph in DWC. They have grown a decent amount, but something is wrong. This is the first time using FloraNova, and growing this strain.
The Ph has risen a tad, ppm staying steady, but they either have a defficency or need a dosage change. New growth looks good, but old growth is spotty and yellowing/drying up. Could it be a Cal/Mag problem already? Temps are great, but humidity is low and res is 65
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I always used Technaflora with no problems, but wanted a one part formula for less work. Thanks for your help, and sorry no pics!

if new growth is ok then all is probably fine. you could back off on the nutes if your unsure.

is this soil or hydro?

They are in DWC. Humidity is very low, could that be screwing it up? .5 EC is pretty low, but it is the first time using FNB so dont know how well it works. pH has risen from 5.3 to 5.8 in about 11 days and ppm has stayed the same. They look crispy and have rusty spots.
Let me know what you all think.

ph seems fines. they seem a bit young to start giving them nutes. foliar feeding may help with the crispyness but probably not for the leaves with spots.

got any pics?

No pics, and they are 3 weeks old from seed...that is not too young at all. Never had problems using Technaflora light nutes. Possibly nute burn, but according to meters they should not be. Maybe they are light feeders?
Gonna get humidity up and see if it helps. Anyone else use FNB from seed?

sorry just saw the 12 days comment and assumed that is what they were at.

i've given mine nutes at 0-7 days. some like it, some don't. some were clones tho. the bag seed i'm growing didn't blink an eye at nutes from day 0.
