Anybody have a idea on how to fix this?

Hey, I seem to have a weird problem. Its not affecting growth, roots look healthy, fan leafs look good, but around the bud areas the leafs are turning a light green. Not from the tip to the inside tho. From the inside(where the fingers meet the stem) moving outside and starting in the middle of the fingers and spreading to the outer sides. I just also found a bottom fan leaf with two little spider mites on it, so i just treated/sprayed my plant before the photos so any spots you see is the spray so dont be confused. Im not sure if maybe this strain just does that during flowering or what cause it just seems to be focused around the bud sites where bud will be forming. Any advice on this would be great considering i have never had this problem out of the grows i have done. Also its hydroponic, advance nutes with N booster so i think its like 10-4-8 im running(ill check later). Water is cold, room temp is ideal also. 322w CFL grow.

ph is right on the money. As for nitrogen, its has enough of that also the way the leafs are fading isnt normal with a nitrogen. The leafs arent wet feeling or mushy or dry, they are perfect feeling. They have a lush healthy feeling to them.

Nitrogen and Magnesium get confused. The best way to tell them apart is, nitrogen deficiency starts around the tips and works its way to the back of the leaves, where a magnesium deficiency will cover the entire outer part of the leave and make the entire leaves yellow leaving the veins to stay green. If your plants are having a slow growth rate and have yellowing of the leaves, then most likely it’s a nitrogen deficiency.

Ah she'll love it I'm sure. Been quite a few conversations about the increased Mg needs of reefer these days all over the boards. She'll be looking great soon enough bro.
