I think the spots with a brown center are the Magnesium and the yellow spotting is the Calcium.
I use foliage spray with a wetting agent to correct this stuff in the young ones. If I try with feed, I will always over water.

I would tend to lean towards a Cal-Mag supplement as it does have that look of deficiency

It would really help if you gave us a bit more info rather than just a pic of leaves, as without knowing your medium and growing conditions, we can only give you a wild ass guess.

Hmmm odd, usually people who mag deficiencies are using tap water. A 6.2-6.5 pH wouldn't necessarily cause a nutrient lockout in soil. Problem might be something else. Possibly the early stages of a fungus of some sort similar to leaf septoria.

it could be the ph of my soil. i lost my soil ph test. just had to wait for my paycheck this week to grab a new one. it also looks more like the example of a cal deficiency

Magnesium deficiency for sure... Add cal mag. Not sure why the nutrient mfgers don't tell you that you need these macronutes that are not usually included in 2 part formulas. Had same issue way back when...tap waters not an issue
