I thought it was a calcium deficiency so I hit her with a full shot of calmag yesterday but she worsened over night. Should I give her more time or am I missing something.
Second opinion...

Guess I should mention pH is checked twice a day always 6.3 give or take a .1. temps in the room average 76 for me that's low. I usually run 83 get my LST at that right temp. But she's been happy handling her own. I'ma be patient with her but id just like a second opinion from a more experienced grower.

That is exactly the thing that makes me nervous about Hydro you have so little time to correct things.

Is this the only plant that has this?
Did you spray something on it while the lights were on?
I'll get that look after I spray to strong solution and not get it washed off quick enough.

I don't do foliar sprays. But nah a couple others were starting to show, they recovered, she worsened. Thank you for your input just the same.

It's my fault for fuckin up top offs last week. Oh well learning curve.
Hydro
PICK YOUR OWN
Are you using RO water? It does look like a Ca deficiency, but judging on the pics alone and the purple petiole stems present....I'd guess a K deficiency or lockout. Excess Calcium can lock out K & Mg as well, so there may be an excessive amount of Ca in your res. I'd change out the res and get it reset with just your normal feed of bloom nutes. Only add the Ca/Mg if you notice it showing a deficiency in either one (unless using RO water).

No I'm not using RO sadly need to hook up the system still but a lockout sounds possible. Tonights feeding night anyway. So I'll swap out feeds and see. Thanks. Ive been under the impression the purple petiole are just a genetic trait as the main stalk and side branches are all still nice and green. Last run they went completely purple from bad feedings. I really appreciate youse taking the time out to shoot me some second opinions.

The purple petioles very well may be genetics like you state, but they are often the first to go purple with deficiencies or low temps. Tell tale of a late deficiency is usually when purpling finds it way from the petiole to the veins of the leaf.

Heard that. Thank you for that very useful info.

Are things looking any better. I was worried about you. lol I would still buy a microscope if you don't have one. Best safe than sorry. Isolate the infected ones for safety reasons. Hope I am misinterpreting what I am seeing and Hydro is right. Good luck.

No bugs checked with the scope didn't see anything moving. I think it's a lockout I swapped out yesterday morning. Just bloom nutes. Shes gotten a little worse. I think I'm gonna swap it out again before work and check her when I get in. Appreciate you checking in bro.

Really? I hate contradicting info online. I use AN and it balances out at 6.3 on its own. I read that 6.3 is the perfect pH to get the best uptake. During top offs I'll lower it's to 5.9-6. it'll rise a .1 or two before the next top off. I'll take your word and lower it.

New leave affected
Middle-late stage
@Heisenbeans thanks bro that's really fuckin useful. Lower all my ladies as we speak. None the deficiency imo looked like this except maybe calcium but it wasn't as spotty as this. But like red said it could be one thing causing more things.
Every deficiency you see under the light is a deficiency and calcium is the number one deficiency that does that. Those rust spots will never go away.
Drop the ph to 5.8 and with tap water I would cut the calmag dose in half. Your new leaves will straighten up.
Watch all the new growth. That's key.
