hi people
so i noticed yesterday my ph was 5.2 and had been so for 2 days. i corrected that but today i noticed brown spots appearing my guess is its ether because of the ph being off or a calcium build up or some sorts of fungi
all the new growth is perky and spot free so i am unsure if its going to spread or not

dwc grow tap water with ppm 230 ish all i add is canna grow A+b so ppm is about 450 to 500
grow room temps stay in ranges
humidity normally around 50/60% ranges
decent air movement

More likely calcium deficiency with the spotting.
well i have stopped using cal mag because im using tap water
i thought maybe calcium getting stuck in the leaves because their not transpiring enough??
do you think i should still be adding cal mag even though my tap water ppm is already high and contains calcium

More likely it's due to the low pH. Calcium is mostly immobile in the plant. Adjusting the pH should be sufficient . Too much calcium can cause nutrient lockout.
