Is This a Nute Overdose?

Hi everyone! I have a grow that is currently in week 3 of flower. So far, everything seems like it’s going pretty well… For the most part.

I recently noticed that some of my lower leaves look like there’s some sort of issue. Not sure what though. I’m currently using the Botanicare line of nutes and water to an ECM of 1.2 and a TDS of 700. Could this potentially be due to overuse of calmag? I think I may have used it more than I should have. Just a thought.

I’ll include a couple pictures of the leaves in question, as well as a pic of the full plants so you can see that the upper foliage is doing quite well. Thanks for the help in advance!

Looks like a P def r/t lack of light penetration to your lowers. I'd take off everything from the substrate line to 18" up the plant. It will push energy toward the upper bud sites too.

Appreciate it! I’ll do that. I won’t risk turning my plant hermie if I do it all at once?
