Spots and leaf discoloration

Hi, my plants are about 2 and a half weeks into flowering and the buds are looking awesome so far. Only problem is: on CERTAIN leaves spots are forming and turning a yellowish color (pics below). These arent the ones at the top of the plant so it's not heat stress. I dont think nutrient burn would be showing this late in the grow because the only nutes I used was a blooming agent that I put in the soil when they were first transplanted into the pots about 2 and a half months ago. I understand now that this was a mistake because technically at that time they were still veging. There has been a few occasions that we had to use the city tap water for watering but the soil still reads a perfectly neutral pH. Anybody got any ideas about what's going on?

I appreciate the diagnosis man. Looked at some mag deficiency pics and it seems like you're right. So do I just mix a whole bunch of epsom salt in the water before I water em or is there some kind of special ratio?

Also, the water that runs off when you water should be at like 6.3 for soil for the best nute absorbtion.

You could also pick up some cal-mag/majic-cal/or what ever. It will give you the mix ratio right on the bottle.

I might check that stuff out. Im on a pretty tight budget so I don't know if it would be practicle for me to use if I can just use epsom salt but do you think they sell it at lowes or home depot?

No, it is a grow show thing, but bottles are less than $20. It's just nice to know you are using a controlled amount of something that is manufactured for this purpose.

You can find it on line, even "The Bay".

I agree it would be the better option. I will have to invest in it for future grows.

I actually did find a ration that said to mix 2 teasp. of epsom salt to 1 gal. water and they said that should work fine.
