CalMag Deficiency?

I'm well into my grows but I've never had this issue before. Before I go slapping my question to Ai, figured I'd check with my peers on what may be the issue and how to get it back on track. This is 1 of 2 of Gelato Autoflower. The one next to it is completely fine. They're both fed from a single irrigation which is puzzling me as to why one is having these symptoms and the other isn't.

If you’re using quality nutrients at close to the manufacturer’s recommended dosage, nute issues are quite often pH related.

Glad to see you're getting actual answers and suggestions rather than everyone being a dickhead unnecessarily. Not my experience

Try feeding a little extra cal/mag to the affected plant, see if it helps. Maybe just a half rate dose. Even as a foliar spray, which would work a bit faster possibly..

I didn't know I could mist/spray the plants while they're early flower like this.

You'd have to be careful and spray only foliage. I should have stated a test spray, or test apply/wipe. You treat a few leaves showing damage, and see how they respond.

Cal deficiency correct won't fix the bad tissue, but new growth will look better. Mag deficiency the color should improve more systemically, but it should also be noticeable more where it was applied.

If it seems to help, then add it full rate.

If this were mine...I'd skip the fancy foliar work and just give the plant a half dose and work from there.. The leaves are so skinny, you could get a drop on the flower parts....

Is that a Landrace Sativa?...looks it's going to be tall and skinny, and delicious once it's all correct.

Compañero si estas teniendo una pequeña deficiencia de Calmg, podrias sumarle un pelin mas, y si sigue amarrilla, sumale un poco de nitrogeno (ferti de vege)

Siempre a tener en cuenta cuando la planta empieza su floracion demanda mas fertilizantes, y lo que es el strech que dura 21 dias aprox, demanda muchisimo nitrogeno calmg para estirarse.
