WTF is this on leaves?

Yo. Had another thread bout ph runoff issue (6.5-6.8 in 5.8 out??) dunno if this is related. In soil light mix. Start week 6 flower. Brown/rust spots on top/mid leaves.
Fed 2 plants exactly same so can't understand the prob? Too much or too little phosphorus maybe?

Looks like you've got/had some salt build up by the looks of the tips. That would also explain the low runoff ph.

Should I just normal feed ph 6.5 water (with calmag) for next few waterings? Should I light feed? Or flush again more? First photogrow I'm not sure.

Your plant is in week 6, the week it eats the most, and it's starving. You needed to feed it.

Flushing just made things a lot worse

Dam dude! I'm on another forum & was advised to flush coz lockout?! Strange coz only 1 of 4 got it, rest are ok? Just snapped few with hps off. Still not best pics tho.

Should I feed 1/2 strength?

It looks like a manganese deficiency to me.
Is the humidity really low, or is the affected plant near a strong fan?
Lowest I've seen drop is 38%. Usually 42-46%. Though it was lower the better in flower? It's closest to the clip on fan at the min. Just coz it's the only one seems bit strange.

My guess is cal mag def, caused by low ph. Or a lockout. I think under 6.4 it cant uptake calmag in soil iirc, you may want to check that number its been a while.
I used to get a few calmag deficiency due to low ph, i was getting the same runoff ph as you, as my tapwater ph level is all over the show.
I use dolomite lime to keep the ph in the perfect range, flush once after putting onto flower just as a preventative and havent had any nutrient deficiency since.
Maybe think about it for your next crop.
Probably to late now, maybe try ph up and get your feed to 7.5 check the runoff should be high enough for the plant to uptake the calmag. Unless its locked out but your flush should have got rid of the build up.
Yes lower humidity is better in later flower.
Good luck

Thanks bro I got dolomite lime but guessing too late! Not sure what caused it. I got cal mag & Epsom salts incase I need it! Added .5-1ml/l most waterings of calmag. Always ph at 6.5-6.8 that's why never understood runoff sometimes 5.8? So my next crop I finish in 11l pots with 25% perlite. How much should I add? Infact I start in 4", then 5l then 11l. Do I add and mix the dolomite each time? Sorry for being a pain in ass. Thanks for ur help bro. Week 7 of 12/12 so hope it's not going have major effect. Looks bit slow tbh

Here's a pic I took yest f the LA cheese I topped twice. Loads of colours but I geuss its just near end of cycle? Hope it fattens up a bit in next 2/3 weeks. This plant has no spots patches etc & on some feed schedule so fuck knows?!
