Brownish spots on DWC seedlings

I have a seedling which is in it's 1.5 weeks of growth. They are in a 17 gallon resevoir with filtered water. I have been using General Hydroponics Flora Series (3 part) nutes and cannazyme. The nutes are at 50% strength as of today. Previously at 25%. I'm not sure if the brown spots are maybe a fungal issue or calcium deficiency. Any suggestions?

Looks like calcium as well as maybe magnesium due to the yellowish veins on the leaf.
Thanks! I'm going to see how it does at 50% strength nutes for the next couple of days and then increase it to 75% if it still has more spots or yellow veins.

When would it be appropriate to use CALiMAGic?

Measure your PPMs/EC. 50% or 25% really only refers to your dosage, not the actual PPMs in the grow.

I pulled the flora series feed chart.. what stage are you using? If you are using the seedling stage they are recommending 2ml micro, 1 ml of grow/bloom. They say that gives you 200 - 400 ppm. If your using 25% of that you could be under 200 ppm and that is not enough for a seedling at that stage. If I were you I would be at 100% of the flora series chart and be using a cal mag around 2 ml/gl of water and your probably should fix itself. Obviously pH needs to be in range, etc. You've got your third set of leaves so I think you could be at 400 PPM no problem. Let me know how you make out..
