this looks like the beginnings of a calcium deff to me (the first pic with rust spots), the yellowing seems to be two issues; necrosis (in soil, this is perfectly normal. as your plants flower, they will "eat" the stored nitrogen in the leaves, which makes them turn yellow and die off.
the other thing i THINK i see is mag def. many times cal and mag can go hand in hand, but realy depends on your water; most tap water is very hard, and has ample calcium in it. if you are like me and are running well water, there is a chance that your water is soft, and is causing a lack of ca.
to fix ca and mag, you can purchase a product called cal/mag, and use it every feeding, 1 tsp per gallon, or, you can use epsom salts for the mag def (on tbs per gallon) and blackstrap molasses for the ca def. imo, the nitrogen def is nothing to worry about. the leaves will continue to yellow and fall, and you'll be left wit mostly bud come harvest time.
i'm sure bg will be here, he sees much better than me (i STILL can't find my friggin glasses...) and if i'm wrong, he will correct me.

holy crap!!! stop using super phosphate now!!!!!!
if that's all you have, replace it with mg 15-30-15 or the african violet mix. that is way way WAY too much phosphate, the rust spots are the beginning of a toxicity and lockout, which is probably causing your mg deff.
the n def is still normal, don't worry about it

umm is that buds I see.
Looks to me like they are at the end of their cycle, like almost ready for harvest (few weeks away)
You know plants will do this at the end right before harvest.
Does look like some defficency or maybe even an odd nute burn.
If you are that close to havest just start flushing them.

Get the Cal/Mag like KP said. I use it and it works great. I had a similar problem and once I started using Cal/ Mag everything seemed fine.

cal mag is great to have, but upon seeing the values of her nutes, i can already see the problem. this is like a flash back to my very first indoor grow. all the way down to the nutes.
dont' let it get as bad as i did, your harvest will be delayed because of the toxicity and lockout, and your leaves will soon start to burn from the inside out, and the big fans will all get crispy. trust someone who has done exactly what you're doing now, and change your nutes. you won't regret it.

ph is not that important in dirt, as soil buffers to near 7 anyway. this is talking soil though, never ever use peat moss, as it buffers to near 5, and cannot be brought up.

edit, i never ever check ph in dirt, never have, never will.

I always check my PH in soil, guess I've been wasting my time...lol. KP when are you starting that college? How do you know so much? Maybe I'm making assumptions but you seem pretty wise for a young lady.

Same here, it's either all or nothing. My last girlfriend couldn't deal with it so she left, that's the bad part. The good part is I'm never bored and I tend to get into things. Sorry Ann didn't mean to jack your thread.
