The spread of this hasn’t stopped. Fed cal/mag and ph is at 6.6. Tap water with dry amendments in soil.
Deficiency?

My other lady has this going on ONE of her leaves. Rusty spots and one rusty line. I amended the mediums with oyster shells, kelp meal, worm castings, and sea bird guano.

Which amendments have you used?

Oyster Shells, kelp meal, sea bird guano, worm castings, rhizotonic, cannazym & when I thought this was a cal/mag deficiency I fed botanicare cal/mag. I held off on blood meal because it’s a 12-0-0 N amendment. I also fed the very hurt girl some Cha Ching by FF. Could this have been the plant needing food so it took it from the leaves causing a cal/mag deficiency. Also if it helps those rust spots go through the leaves.

The first pics look like spray damage. Did you spray them with anything? ... lights on?

I admit to some. I sprayed with Doctor Zymes which I know accelerates damage to some leaves if they had problems. But I only sprayed a few (3 to 4) leaves and some of these leaves never had damage and now they have the rust spots or black dead spots. Burnt tips. I might’ve nute burned them.

I sprayed spinosad and that’s the residue it left on the plants (2nd one). I’ll spray again on lights out tonight (been 4 days). Also did I not give enough Cal/mag then

That’s not very descriptive. How did you check it?

Well there’s a picture with a soil pH pen in the soil. Got a 6.6 reading. It looks like either potassium or calcium. I added more than enough nutes with calcium in it and I’m beginning to think it’s potassium. I added sea bird guano for (p) but I only have Kelp meal for the added (k) about 3tbs for 5gal and instructions are 1-2 per gal. Kelp meal only has 2 ratio of K In it and I don’t have alfalfa meal in my mix to really help kelp meal so should I throw more kelp in the mix or buy some alfalfa. I didn’t want to burn her in flower with my 4-8-4 rose mix.
here’s what I fed
Down to earth amendments sea bird (0-11-0) 4 tbs, kelp meal 3 tbs, 3tbs 0yster, 1tbs 4-8-4, 1cup worm castings. All directions say 1-2 tbs per gal top dress

Purple stems, the way the burn ends up looks like potassium which can be mistaken for a cal deficiency unless I have an excess. The only thing is the picture with the bud in it had the rust spot.
