My plant began to develop these brown dots on the lower pair of leaves on one side and some more brownish looking tint on the other. I have a photo below, I have my whole journal on here as well for reference. As of now I am at half strength nutes, slowly increasing the dose of magical, thinking it might be calcium deficiency but I am a noob so I could be wrong. Humidity is in low 30's , temp mid 80's and top feed is on 15 min every 3 hours.

The pic to me is very hard to see.
 
What's she in for a medium? Soil,coco, mix, etc.... The pic is very hard to see but could be cal mag, could of also just slashed sum nute mix on em while feeding and it's burn from that..... But need better pic. eg. Higher res

Hydroton and I haven't spilt anything really when refilling the resevoir, it seems to be spreading slightly upwards. It's disappointing this has been my best performer so far.

Looks like cal diff to me. It tends to happen a lot more in hydro then in soil. Foliar feeding with a wetting agent IME is the fastest way to rectify the situation. Also the proper PH in your reservoir is a must cal isn't absorbed very well above 5.8.
Good Luck
 
It could also be pH related. What has your pH been running at?

Round 6.0 I don't have a digital reader just traditional so hard to be accurate. I will you go buy one today

You mind dumbing down your response for me a bit? Haha :)

I think it's a calcium deficiency. Feeding through the leaves by spraying them with a nutrient solution would be the quickest way to fix the problem. You can add a wetting/spreading agent, which basically makes it easier for the plant to absorb.
In hydroponics it's a lot harder for the roots to absorb calcium if the solution in the reservoir has a PH higher than 5.8. and if it is a problem with your PH foliar feeding bypasses the root system and Delivers nutrients right to the plant.
