Weird symptoms, expert opinion please

These are all pictures from my 3 different plants, almost all showing the exact same symptoms.
Gorilla glue #4, Fire OG, and Platinum OG, all being fed the same.
Brown spot is looking like a phosphorus deficiency or Nute lock out, and weird green or yellow bumps. Bumps, not spots. I checked my soils ph and runoff, and the ph was all fine, ranging from 6.25-6.5 on all plants. The ppms were wayyyy too high, coming out to a 2800 ppm average on all plants. I’m weening them off the nutes and feeding them only cal mag and tap water that I let sit for the chlorine to dissipate. I’m low stress training them pretty hard, so I do accidentally get their feed on their leaves. This led to a couple leaves getting burnt from drops of fox farms bembe getting on the leaves that didn’t quite mix in all the way with the water. The discoloration from that looks a lot different from the phosphorus deficiency looking leaves though.

Also to keep in mind, all are at their beginning of second month veg. I saw some thrips so I made a neem oil spray, and also put benificial nematodes in the soil. Haven’t seen any thrips since, but weird damage still occurs. No other bugs in sight.

They look over fed. Seems like your on the right course backing off the nutes and going water only. I would go easy on the cal/mag.
They look good for a 1st grow. Probably being watered to often or to heavily judging by the leaves but in good shape for a 1st grow.

On the photo with the yellow lines and holes, could that also be from nute burn/ lockout? Thanks for the help by the way.

I'm not sure what caused that. Could be old damage, that might be why it's developing the holes.
Damage between the veins can be from several things.
Early magnesium deficiency or possibly light damage are possibilities.

Wow 2800 ppm that is definitely way way too high. Are you running soil or a soil less mix? PH for soil should be about seven while a soil less mix should be six to six point three.

If using a soil less mix then continue to flush until the ppm is below 250 before using nutrients again. If your using soil stick with water only until the second week of flowering.

Dont flush your plant down to 250 flush down to 1000 renute with a balanced nute at about 600 ppms add microbes to the soil, because you'll probably wash out a lot of the nitrogen and some/alot of the microbe population you have straight away.
