Is this leaf septoria and if so is there anything I can do about it during flower?
if you are confident it is not a root zone issue (ph lockout, roots too wet for too long) then i’d wager it’s calcium related, you did not list calcium as one of your nutrient additions so this would make sense…. cannabis is a calcium liking plant and the leaf symptoms are similar to the signs of calcium deficiency. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/calcium-deficiency you won’t fix already affected leaves and you’ll likely suffer some stunting given how it’s progressed. this will most likely affect yield but now you know for next grow. i don’t personally ph in ffof, i run filtered tap water and fox farm trio with a very light dose of calcium/magnesium in each feeding as a preventative versus a treatment.
