Can’t identify necrosis

Hey y’all… been a while since I posted anything. Was hoping for some input here… can’t seem to figure out this deficiency. I’m in a coco+perlite hydro system and use the general hydroponics micro and bloom (+ calmag). Given the shift into flower I’ve cut the micro concentration by a bit and am thinking this could be the cause? I just flushed her yesterday to cover my bases if that was needed. Only a few of the lower leaves affected, but I want to nip this in the bud.

I use epsom salts, walmart brand at the Jack's recommended dose of 1 gram per gallon for magnesium. Cheap and easy.
 
Well probably not then if you're giving it mag.
Might be getting nitrogen deficient early. They aren't really deep green up top and look paler green down lower. Plus you cut the dose and flushed her.
You've still got some time in flower yet; probably best to up the nutes to at least where you were and see if that stops the necrosis. It's almost impossible to green them up in flower though so all you'll get is the symptoms stopping.

That’s real good info to know! I think you’re right about me cutting the nutes… looks mobile to me and given the recent shift to flower that’s probably it. I’ll give more of the micro and hope that fixes it. Appreciate your input! Thanks a lot!
 
It would help to elevate the pot so you can have a catch tray under,feed to runoff, lots,everyday.

I like that idea. I don’t typically water to runoff, However, I might start so I can test the ph and stuff. Is there any benefits I’m missing with regards to watering with or without runoff? Do you suggest I do one over the other?

Yes! Your in coco,feed to 1EC to runoff 20% everyday dont let it dry back.Coco is hydro treat it as such.Never straight water.
I would feed it now with lots of runoff,flush out all the salts,put it in a sink or something.

That's a Potassium deficiency.
 
Ladies are looking nice! That looks pretty straight forward, I’ll have to make something along those lines.
Yup, make it easy to feed at lights on then you can deal with runoff later in the day.Good luck.

The second picture in the OPs first post is showing a K deficiency.
That second pic is why I didn't say nitrogen deficient in the first place. I was thinking mag but like @JPD said the plant's getting calmag.
Didn't you say in another post that you've been using the Flora series for years now (since 1996 or so maybe?).
That's a couple for you now; dry coir and potassium deficiency. You're gonna make me a better grower if you keep this up....
