ok, several of my plants are showing this, some worse than others. i have a few pics, it looks like it could be calcium or magnesium to me. could use some expert opinions. i think a flush couldnt hurt, no? them maybe some calmag ferts, which i will have to go get.

here are a few pics, any input is greatly appreciated the last pic acually looks more like white spots than dark rusty spots

Well I'm no expert, but from what I've read I think you may be right about a cal/mag deficiency.

Try some calmag or epsom salt?

Good luck. :weed:

I am sure you already know to use Cal-mag when you run a RO/DI system right.. If u dont use Cal-mag than I would get on it asap and this is most likely the case. Your plants look pretty well balanced. My plants usually start to show the same symptoms once every 3 crops. I try to correct it with Vitamax and ensuring I am correctly applying my NPK, 3part feed formula.
It seems to be on the fan leaves first-thats a good sign. And seems to be all over-another easy thing to correct. Maybe run some epsom salts- very cheap and very simple to do.. With out knowing to much, when in doubt-epsom salts seems to usually work when it comes to trouble shooting..

i use epsom salt to fix the problem but it only work for a short period of time till you can correct it for real..but thats just my experience it works well for others though
