This spotting has come about and I'm not sure the cause atm.
It's happening on a couple of plants.
All organic rols.
Haven't checked the soil ph yet, but watering is always set to about 6.2 or close to there.

Primarily in the Altar Bread strain. 2.5 weeks into flower atm.

Thinking it's molybdenum being locked out, but not sure yet. Leaning towards the micro nute side of things being my issue.
Top dressed them a week or two ago with with some fresh mix. Bone meal, chicken poo, alfalfa meal, and seaweed.
It's the same mix all my other plants have gotten.
Hmmmm.......
Tell me your thoughts O' World of Cannabis lovers. Lol.

Yup most common PH up is potassium bicarbonate
It's potassium silicate I add in there for a ph up as needed.
As @SSGrower referred to about the excess K being in there.
It's in my dang silica supply too. ??? lol.
P.S. I would have sworn you were high on P, also based on info not in this thread, but it migh explain the high K. You said at one point you sometimes swing pH low so you can pH up which is primarily made of potassium compounds. I know you know this just offering up.
I'm high on the P(ot) all day long mang. ???
Most of the night too. Rofl.

I too would've sworn I was at the very least adequate on the P, if not borderline high with it. Goes to show that shit really does happen. Lmfao.
Guess I'm gonna break down and get an RO system to alleviate part of this compounding issue. Lol.
Been dealing with it for yrs now.
Guess I'll join the water waster club. Lmfao.
It'll make dealing with the other part of it much easier and preventative of it reoccurring.

Dang it though I'll have to relearn all of my watering. Lol.

Prob get some super triple phosphate to take care of that P issue too. Bastids they be. Lol.

Update on this issue.

From what I discerned about my own issue, it was a K tox, and P def I was dealing with. The K tox was causing Ca and micro defs on me, and P def throwing it's own mystery in there.
I eliminated the potassium silicate, top dressed them with 0-7-0 bat poop, and added cal mag to their waterings.
They're on the mend now, recovering quickly from my own caused issue. Lol.
