Guys am I doing something wrong?

Need some advice from the camp. Bruce Banner and Gorrilla Glue autos are about a week apart in flower and I noticed Bruce’s leaves are turning yellow with a few brown spots on it’s leaves and Gorrilla shows red spots with its leaves looking darker. To give some perspective I’ve checked for red mold and it’s not as well as with Bruce. Im wondering if my feeding process is the issues so this is what I’ve been doing and using.

I using AN Perfect pH trio and bud candy in 1 gal of water. This Friday I gave them both 11ml of the trio and 8ml of bud candy.

I mix them in correct order making sure to shake with each nute but here’s where I’m wondering. I’m watering them with plain water first to test the ppm which leads to run off and when I add the nutes I’m having to suck up the water from the trays as the nute mixture goes straight through. Is this the culprit and all the nutes are running straight through and not staying because of the initial watering?

I checked the ppm after feeding and it hovers around 900-980ppm but figured it’ll adjust once the nutes take. Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong.

Temps in tent are around 70-74, humidity 54-65%

Plants are looking really good overall! Looks like maybe need a bit more calcium (the rust looking spots) I’ve never heard of anybody watering them to runoff to check ppm and then feeding right after, regularly.

Just water them with the nutrient water and check your runoff numbers from the last bit of runoff, no need to fully water them before you water them.

They are looking nice and lush!
Do you use Cal Mag? My autos started to do something similar until I started adding it every water.

Yep same here. About 4-6 weeks into flower I add Calmag every week

Ok great advise guys. Yes I need to grab some cal mag asap because I haven’t been using it. I appreciate the support!

In addition to the sound advice given above, what is your pH? Also, are you in soil?

As others stated, plants look healthy. There may also be genetic variation for the two strains. I would have to check, but I think my Amnesia was lighter green during the first grow than the Blueberry and Northern.
