some of the rusty spots looks like tbh, but are you growing in soil? on the other side some of the brown spots has holes, which suspiciously looks like some fucker took a bite for me.
Im growing in sunshine #4 and ya the holes are from bugs i got that under control with the neem oil still get the odd earwig think thats what made all the holes i read they eat holes in leafs if theres no other food but now these spots are spreading like crazy its gotten worse since yesterday and yesterday morning i just did a feeding i did cut me nutes in half cause was getting some minor nute burn could that be why they need more calcium ?

well, give it a shot. how do you actually feed btw?
I do a gallon of water
Micro-2.5ml
Gro-2.5ml
Bloom-1.25ml
Then i give half a gallon to both plants lately though ive had to mix up another half gallon which i cut the nutes in half when add the extra half gallon then split it between the two before i was giving
Micro-5ml
Gro-5ml
Bloom-2.5ml
But that seemed to be to much

sticking with the GH schedule seems ok, im not familiar with your soil, is it pre fertilized?
The higher doses was the GH schedule the lower doses i found on google heres the link https://www.growweedeasy.com/general-hydroponics-flora-trio-guide
They say the GH feed chart was abit to high, i first started with this feedchart then i switched to GH feed chart to see if it was better but it was bit to strong now im back to the feed chart in the link but now getting all these brown spots but i havent tried it with GH calimag, i just watered/feed yesterday morning should i mix up a gallon or half gallon with just calimag mixed and split it between the 2 plants or mix some water ans calimag in a spray bottle and spray the leafs ?
Just wait until you water next. You need to know the TDS and you need a pH pen too. I recommend this pH pen (https://www.amazon.com/Bluelab-PENPH-Pen-Plant-Germination/dp/B005POOJHG) Otherwise you are over or under feeding and you could have pH problems, drops aren't all that accurate. Check very closely for other insects.
Here's my plants on GH Flora series. Best of luck.
The burn on that one is from touching the light.

What are your measurements of GH flora series in veg? And ya i gotta get a PH pen i know my PH is 6.0 when water with nutes also sunshine #4 has a PH adjuster in the growing mix
I've run Sunshine Mix Advanced #4 it has dolomitic lime. I'd move completely to soiless. I run in 50/50 Canna coco/xlg perlite and wouldn't go back.
Roughly 400 in veg. I just took that for reference.
Should i keep following this feedchart? my plants are outdoor also btw

For many people, nutrients can be a pretty confusing topic. Not only are there tons of companies to wade through, but some companies have multiple nutrient lines, extra supplements, additives, etc. And once you’re through with that, you still have to figure out how much and how often to feed...

I add water to get to the PPM I prefer to run based on experience.
Ya thats the one i was using before maybe i should go back to that cause last 2 feedings i lowered it and the brown spots got bad

Not spider mites, there are also another mites, but can not remind the name...

I think you do not need calmag but you need pH up instead. When your tap is pH 6,0 than your feed will be around 5,0 maybe less and its quite low for soil. I have never seen calmag issues with tap water only when its pH issue. Maybe your tap pH 6,0 is because low level of calmag inside I dont know do some research. But be careful, using calmag with tap can result P lockout because of cal abundance.
I put in half a tsp in with my feed the bottle says 1 teaspoon per gallon but the Feed chart says half tsp so will try that
Of topic but does ANYONE KNOW HOW TO KILL EARWIGS?? There whats eating my plants caught another one on a leaf and there was new chew holes everywhere on the leaf where the earwig was i dont think neem oil affects earwigs
