hey guys. ive been having this issue with rust colored leaves for a while now. heres the info on the grow. im sure i will forget something so please ask questions. i have a 4x4 tent with 4 purple haze plants from the same mother. i use advanced nutrients ph perfect grow micro and bloom along with their line of boosters(rhino skin nirvana big bud bfx ect) the temp stays right around 74 degrees F and around 35%rh. lights out it goes down to 62 and the rh goes to around 50-60. im pretty sure its not a ph issue or a nutrient issue but rather a fungus like rust(the tent is in a basement but its pretty dry and cool down here. the RH stays around 35%. im wonder what course of action to take because this is starting to happen on the plants i have in another tent(week 4 of flower) first pics are the late flower plants in the 4x4 tent. the last ones are of the 2x4 tent in early flower.

What is your ph? Most of the time its just a ph problem that locks out some nutrients

Looks like calcium def to me rusty spots ?
 
Yeah rusty spots. I've tried adding more cal/mag and it still progressed. Like I said it started on on plant then slowly went to the other plants. I'm at a loss. Like almost ready to throw in the towel

It's okay bro it won't go away but will get better what you using for cal mag supplement?

What are temps and ph going in ?
 
ok the res. is at 6.5ph 609ppm and 67.9*F. the inside of the tent is is 72*f and 40%rh. I'm using botanicare cal/mag

Okay buddy here is what i would do personally from My own experience .

Lower ph to about 5.9 area -6.1 72f is okay be nice to see 74-76 mid flower .

72 is cool for last few weeks of course it all's not easy to control Mother Nature sometimes.

40% Rh okay 45% be even better . I can't get mine over 35% it seems I dot. Believe in a wet hung towel nor do I have the room with three plants in 4x4x6.5 check out my journal and ask as many questions.

You got a little six clip fan you can put shooting across underneath the light. Cob led require extra cal mag . I'm
Currently adding 4-5 ml in week 5 per gal ish.

It could be mag too or even p def I'd lower that ph a tad and see how she likes it? Soil like 6-7ph hydro 5.2.6.3

I still go with cal mag def or lock out at 6.3-6.5. Is high maybe last two weeks before flush would be good for that in my opinion of course .

i was doing 3ml. im using tap water that has sat out. my tap ppm is 125 and 7.2 ph. but im glad its not a fungus. i mean i dont see spores flying around and i cant scrape it off the leaf. yeah im gonna clean the fan and put it in the 4x2. i was worried about spores flying around so i took the fan out and just tried to exhaust the tents outside.

Remember to ph down is the last thing you put in after trace elements and base nutes buddy .

You can also add a drip . or two of cal mag to a spray bottle and lightly mist your leafs before lights out . I've not tested this but have been told by some good growers this helps feed the leafs directly faster helping heal them faster .

But yes up cal to about 5 ml buddy .
Phone is dead bro bee to charge catch me around been here two years now ain't going anywhere soon .

Thank you for the help bud! Much appreciated. I have another question. Is there a certain order you should put your nutrients into your reservoir? I've searched and searched and have found nothing on the subject.
