Hi everyone,
This is my first time grow of 2 plants (strain apollo XX) and I've been reading off of Ed Rosenthal's grower's guide and Jorge Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture. I've had a few issues with heat stress and nutrient toxicity but each time I think I caught them early enough that the plant wasn't affected too much by it.
In the past 1-2 weeks the lower leaves on the plants have started to fade and rust spots have appeared in the past 2 days on a few of the leaves. I've tried matching them with problems in Rosenthal's Marijuana Garden Saver but I none of the descriptions seem to match the symptoms. The plants are currently 6 week old.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on? Pics are below.

- I've thought it might be nitrogen/magnesium deficiency but the symptoms don't match very much.
- The plants live in a tent around 73F during daytime, 55% RH and a constant gentle breeze.
- For watering, I've been waiting till the top 1-2 inches are actually dry before watering and each time watering until the soil is completely saturated and water comes out the bottom (which is then dumped).
- For nutrients I'm using general organics and I try not to overdo it and actually give them 1/2-3/4 the recommended dose every 1.5 weeks or so. Growth seems to still be pretty fast
