Please help: rust spots, holes in leaves

Here's a handy write up I came across for mixing nutrients.
The order you do it in is important, not mixing properly can cause Nutrient Precipitation (the process of precipitation involves nutrients separating from the liquid solution, resulting in the formation of solids. This means that the nutrients are no longer available to the plants).







Here this might help with mixing your nutrients. Taken from a different site, don't worry if you don't use all the products listed.

taken from different website:

Order Matters!
Nutrients should be added to the water in a specific order to prevent lock-out. Silicon should be added first and given time to dissolve. Cal/Mag is second and should be added before the base nutrients. At the other end, Rapidstart, which has no impact on EC or pH should be added at the absolute end. Rapid start and H2O2 (when used) can be added after the final pH adjustment.

The Order to Mix Nutrients
Add Silicon and give solution at least one hour to dissolve
Add Cal/Mag supplement
Add Base Nutrients
First “Micro”
Second “Grow”
Third “Bloom”
Add Bloom Booster
Add Humic Acid
Add SM-90 (I now use RAW Yucca as a wetting agent instead. See our article: "Recommended Nutrient Supplements for Growing Cannabis")
Measure and adjust the pH of the solution
Add Rapid Start
Add H2O2/beneficial microbes (if needed for reservoir)
 
I had recently read something about the manufacturer recommended amount was usually a little tight and to go with about three fourths the amount and that would be good. Thank you for letting me know. This site has been super helpful. Super grateful to everyone who took time to help me out

that sounds right. pull back a touch more if adding kelp and the cal mag. i would start at 1/2 nutes and add more base nutes if you test low. i wouldn't worry about proper order as much as total ppm.
 
Ok so I put in what the chart said ended up at around 1400 then put cal mag and kelp In I'm at 17
I am surprised no one mentioned this. I am under the impression that the cal-mag product should be the first thing added to the water, not the last. It is added first and allowed to mix in for a couple of minutes and then the other nutrients or fertilizers are added.

Go back three posts my friend :)

she might not hit the correct ppm right off the bat. when dialing it in it's best to start a bit low and add. once you know where you are at you can mix correct for subsequent feedings. one feed mixed slightly out of order won't hurt anything.

start with the calmag. juggle the rest.
 
1240pm
50 ml cal mag
300 ml mirco
280 ml grow
210 ml bloom
150 ml kelp
150 ml h202
Also I put some lady bugs in there one plant is doing great but the other two are not running out of patience about to just flip and hope for the best so I can disinfect my tent and try again

What is that
What is what? Are you asking about @bluter's comment about "going through a pk pull".

I am not sure but I figure he is referring to the N-P-K numbers.

There are 3 numbers used on plant fertilizers called the N-P-K numbers just about everywhere and by just about everyone who farms or gardens. Each stands for the percentage of one of the macro nutrients all plants need. They are always listed in the same order. Most quality fertilizers and nutrient mixes will also list the percentages of the secondary and trace or micro nutrients on the back of the package.

The "pull" he mentions probably means the way the plant will start to pull the nutrients it needs from the older leaves and moves them throughout the plant to the newer growth. The leaves it 'pulls' from will start to turn yellow, then brown and sometimes a very dark brown with shades of dark gray similar to what is shown in msg #49.

If caught in time most of the problems can be fixed.
 
Inside of the bush are yellowed leaves with dark tips and some dried up and wilted leaves
Have you done anything to take care of the "P-K pull" that was mentioned in msg #49?

Sometimes those yellow leaves in the canopy are minor and do not mean any problem is happening. Sometimes they are a sign that a problem has started.

Do not remove the yellow leaves or the dried up and wilted leaves. The have to stay on the plant until after we have seen photographs.Take a photo showing the whole plant and a photo of the inside the canopy ("inside the bush" like you wrote might get the attention of the porn police).;)
