Any ideas?

Hello all

Not new here, but new to posting. I have a GG#4 growing in almost it's 3rd week of flower. I'm growing in 5gal fabric pots, in coco mixed with Ocean Forest with a little Down to Earth "Rose & Flower + Bone meal", a little azomite, and a little dolomite lime. The plant mostly looks good, but I starting noticing a few leaves not looking so healthy in the last few days. They seem to be the larger, older fan leaves and not the smaller ones. Initially, I thought possibly a cal mag issue or just magnesium, but I'm also wondering if it's a phosphorus excess or deficiency. I would think that the azomite, dolomite, Down to Earth fertilizers, plus the occasional Roots Organic cal mag would be providing enough.

The newer leaves on the top (closest to the light) seem less green and a little more narrow. I'm not sure if thats normal either. I'm growing in a 3x3 using a 425w Timber (cob), I have a 6 inch inline and two 6 inch fans always running, my temperature averages around 76 at the lower part of the tent and in the low 80's higher up (which makes sense). My humidity averages between 45 to 55 and I keep my light about 16 inches from the canopy.

Do any of you a clue to what this might be? I am using the Root Organic Cal Mag every few waterings, but have read to cut the calcium in early flower and just use a little epsom salt if needed. I'm watering about a half gallon of RO every few days with a ph at about 6.7. Because I'm growing in what I think is organic, I'm not letting it get to much run-off. Any help is appreciated!

Not really in to organics but a side question how much better is RO water in a full organics grow with soil ammendments?

Also but having run off with RO water how do nutrients get replenished faster than you wash them out? Isit as simple as top dressing?

Curious if someone can point me in right school of thought here.
