Good Day All-
I have been using General Organic Cal/Mag on a weekly basis. Two weeks ago I upped it from 1 and 1/2 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons on the next watering and symptoms appeared worse. So I watered her the past Monday with straight distilled water and the brown spots keep getting worse. Distilled water has around 6.0 ph.
Recently my wife had a bad car wreck so that kept me off the net.\
I just took these pics a minute ago. My growing skills are going to crap, but will continue to try. Top half of container is strictly Roots Organic soil and the bottom half mixed with GBD and Roots.
Any ideas? Been for this told to give more cal/mag and been told to stop this watering.

:smoking: hey Jacks... very sorry to hear about the accident mate, I hope your wife is okay! 
scary shite,...
... still think acidic pH is behind this,... if so, adding more doesn't help, and cutting out does no better,.. the nutes are there, but rendered unavailable, and Di water will make matters worse-- no buffering minerals,... I realize you're in a pinch Jacks, but without this info, I can't make a good call, it's that simple,... might be moot anyway at this point, as she's getting close,... have you talked with GBD at all?

Hey! I'm having the same issue. I'm also too close to harvest to worry but for future reference I'd love to solve this one.
My DWC plant has the rust spots too...like someone took a paintbrush with rust paint and flecked it all over...mostly on the fan leaves. I was at proper PH in RO water and using GH maxigrow ( kept it at about 300ppm ). It really got noticeable when I switched to maxibloom ( started at about 100ppm and slowly lifted it to about 300ppm ). I added a tiny bit of maxigrow to try to keep the Nitrogen more available ( about 30ppm ) and I think it helped...I didn't notice anymore of the spotting but my leaves have yet to start autumn-ing and I'm a little nervous it's because of the extra grow nutes???

@Frogster Made an interesting statement I may need to heed...I am using LEDs so perhaps my Magnesium was low...I was trying to avoid too many additives but perhaps I will look in to CaliMagic or something similar.

Thanks All for your feedback. No more nutes or anything except plain distilled water as this Thursday will be week 9. I may just give her plain tap water and leave out for a few days to remove chlorides and let her begin eating her leaves and lock out nutes. I removed the spotted fan leaves as I see they do no good at this time.

Allright folks just watered with distilled water, nothing else. Run off ph is 6.2.
I have no other clue what to do except let her fatten up. Thursday will be 9 weeks. Think I should wait 2 to 3 more and chop her down.
I think she hates me because I live in Texas and absolutely hate the Cowboys
