I using general organics go box bio thrive bloom and camg+ n bio bud n bio marine. I've looked for mites with microscope n didn't find any. The guy at hydro shop says its from humidity raising n dropping its no less then 43 n no higher then 65. It was all doin good til bout a week ago

If you're growing in soil (or coco), then get a ph pen. Also get some 'Bloom-CalMag' and some 'BioBizz AlgAmic'. Add those to your water and then adjust your water ph to 6.5. Using this each watering will eventually sort out the issues. You can also flush the plant before starting to use the correctly ph'd feed - flush with at least 3 times the capacity of the container using ph 7 water. Collect a little of the run off, both at the start of flushing, and the end - measure the ph of these. Doing this will probably highlight something of the problem. But yeah, the cal/mag and the micro nutrients, combined with correct ph will sort it all out. Might not be the greatest grow this time, but learn and they will get better and better.

There are other cal/mag and algae/seaweed micro nutrients, which would be good too. I recommended the ones I did because I use them myself, so can vouch for them (see the grow in my sig, and my 'Sugar Punch Grow'). When I started growing I experienced things like you are, and kept addressing the symptoms and therefore kept suffering the same problems (which I needed to solve). By doing what I advise here I have cut out 95% of problems - with the 5% being easily dealt with by small adjustments.

Oh and now I can see how far into flowering you are, avoid watering too often, let those pots dry out before giving more (but still consider flushing once before switching to the 6.5 ph cal/mag and algamic solution).

K I'm going to do get that n try it. Do u know how much those two are? And I just watered my plants with nutes last night so should I let it dry out prob 3 or 4 days b4 I water again so I have time to get the calmg and algamic solution n then flush but how much water do I flush with and then let it dry out again n then do I just use the calmg n algamic only
 
ok. Well I don't know why the spots are appearing, What have you been doing with the plant generally? ... Bigby seemed to know what he was talking about....
