just noticed the leaves showing these brown spots last night. some of the tips of the leaves are also disfigured, turning, or curling up. i have had an issue with what i thought was a nitrogen toxicity earlier, so i stopped using calmag due to it's nitrogen component. my leaves were extremely dark green, almost bluish-green. my plants are about two months old now, and that seems to have cleared up a bit. using gaia green nutrients. tap water, dechlorinated, and ph to about 6.5. i just transplanted them into 5 gal pots last weekend, using the 2-8-4 bloom only, 3 tablespoons per gallon. looks like now, they may have a calcium deficiency, but im not sure, what my leaves are doing doesn't really match up with the example pics i have seen. wanted your advice. i did mix up about a half gallon of water with a half teaspoon of calmag last night. that was the first time i'd given them calmag in well over a month, i'd say. any thoughts?

Potentially over-watering or the start of light burn maybe?
oh, i haven't put them into flower just yet. still in veg. the plants are still pretty small. they are filling out nicely, wide and bushy, but short. like i said, i just transplanted them into the 5's, and i was going to give them at least a couple more
weeks or so. wanted them to have a chance to get past any transplant shock, and also get some more height.
When I get behind using dry amendments I usually use a compost tea to catch up. The dry amendments can take weeks to become available and in 5 gals you are always chasing something. A good balanced compost tea will catch you up. Sounds like you are using a bloom balance so depending on where you are in flower, molassas and bat guano would be something to consider. Good luck!!
