i'm 4 weeks into flowering, i'm growing pakistan kush ryder and vertigo auto. i'm running a 600watt hps air cooled hid. using flora series 3 part with h202, floralious plus, liquid kool bloom. my ph have been kept around 6.0-6.3 and ppm start off at 900 with a fresh nute change and tapers off to around to 700 after a couple days. i'm getting rust spots on the plants. i'm not really worried about the yellowing because that is to be expected during the flowering stage. i've uploaded plenty of pics so please feel free to leave comments and suggestions. the big plant is the Paki and the little one is the vertigo... the vertigo almost died 2 weeks in and took 2 weeksd to recover hence the short statue of the plant.

lower your ph a little and 900 including water ppm or thats 900 without try 1200 with a little cal mag ... no pro just making giving you a outsiders perspective mybee u over did the h202

Cal & Mag are picked up at higher pH than most growers run - in fact 5.9 - 6.1. So your pH is likely not the culprit in a cal/mag deficiency. I grew 10 Vertigo. A waste of time and space.

that's including the water ppm ... which is around 105. and i just started giving it cal-mag this week because i heard it could use a little more during flowering... thanks for the advice... i'm uploading a couple more pics today. stick around for the entire grow if you'd like

well i decide to give it a 24 flush to get rid of anything that the roots don't like... i used 15ml of florakleen and 5ml of sm-90 (using 5 gal buckets). had a lil bit of slime on the vertigo. woke up this morning and the vertigo roots look super good. so i'm going to try a difenrent feeding schedule this time also. on res change day (today) i'm only mixing up base nutes. micro, grow, bloom, and adding a lil bit of cal-mag. in 2-3 days when i top off, 1gal of water and additives floraplus, koolbloom, and pineapple rush. and on next top off just water and cal-mag. then repeat for next cycle. let me know what you think about that. ppl don't be shy. i've noticed over 150 views but only 2 comments.... just curious to know what you guys think.
