Looks like calcium or phosphorus deficiency to me but I’m not sure. Can I please get some help? Leaves curling and copper spots. I only use 6.3-6.5 OR water. Gave it’s first cal-mag feeding yesterday.

What’s your medium?

You are getting deficiencies because you are overwatering. Let them dry out and get back on schedule. Your leaf curling is the obvious sign of over watering.

Thank you. I was watering her with the others, but I'll get her on her own schedule. She was the smallest so makes sense she doesn't need as much water.

That is a more likely culprit than needing cal mag. Any reason you’re using RO water in soil? Tap water is fine

Which is why you wouldn’t need cal mag at this stage.
I don't say this to overwrite you, but calmag is usually the 1st thing my plants beg for under LED, even using ocean forest. I do think it's because of the LED honestly. My mars and SF instruction booklets both say the plant will want more calmag under the LED... not that they are the scientists lol I'm curious as to what else it could be, for I could very well be wrong.

Reason number 2 your issue isn’t calmag. Anyway use tap it will eliminate your need for cal mag. If you still experience a mag def through your grow Epsom salt is good. Adds sulfur for flower as well.
That's a good point.. another indication that I could very well be wrong. I don't mean to mislead anyone.

I think you and Wattzzup are both right. I think she's suffering from calmag and overwatering
