SOIL Calcium deficiency?

Wondering if this is calcium deficiency or something else. I added CalMag at recommended dose last 4 waterings. Outdoor grow it needs water daily. Transitioning to flower nutes since she seems to be an auto. Unknown bagseed.

Yellow leaves had the brown spots first. You can see the brown spots on some of the green leaves.

Don't fret the yellow leaves.
Pull one of the spotted greens and check the underside real close for bugs. Real close. Micro close.
How old is the plant and why does it seem to be an auto? If your bagseed came from a dispensary, there is a real good chance it is not an auto.
 
With your fertilizer I wouldn't switch to flowering nutes until you actually have buds forming, stick with grow nutes/nitrogen until then and then ween them off the nitrogen.
Unless it is a sign of phosphorus or potassium deficiency..... ?
Does look like one of those leaves might have been munched on by something in the second pic, the one next to the yellow one..
 
She's about 50 days from on sprouting. I assumed auto when she started flowering at day 35 or so. She wasn't stressed, so I think that means an auto. No signs of little bugs on underside of leaves. Had a caterpillar munch some of the leaves a bit but they're dead now. 😁

Would you say this is in full flower mode? Should I stay with veg nutes or flower? Thanks for any help!!

10-4. My comment about autos was because autos do not typically get the same size as fem/photo. Growers want the biggest yields they can get, and they don't come from autos. But you look auto if you're at 50 days.
Premixed soil is pretty much for vegging. After 4ish weeks, those nutrients are flushed out and it's time to add. You are flowering so I would be adding flowering nutrients. No need for more veg nutes.
The spots on the leaves are suspicious. Please, pardon me questioning what you just said, but how close did you look under for bugs? When I said micro close, I'm talking loupe or USB microscope. Those little bastards are teensy tiny.
 
Hi rez pic of backside of an affected leaf. I hope you can zoom in close, I don't see bugs but...

On my screen, those look like holes. Something is eating your plant.
Since you already had grasshoppers, I wonder if you have babies.
Do you know what grasshopper poop looks like?
 
Lol. Nobody ever asked me that before! Not grasshoppers for sure. I had snails. I'll spray with neem & insecticidal soap tomorrow early AM. Thanks for your advice.

Edit: BTW, that leaf is only about 2" long.
 
Dangit! You said caterpillars, not grasshoppers. I blame drugs for the mistake.
Still and all, something is nibbling your fine-looking dope. Watch to see if progresses up the plant.
Spraying while flowering... is... done... I guess. Consider what you spray on your plants will get on the buds and leave residue. There are products that are 'safe' to use up to harvest but... yeah... Please wait to see if you have more bugs. Give your plant a right mighty shake to see what you can dislodge. Don't break anything. Shaking and rustling and agitating the plants will help get buggies off.
You might be about to get knocked around for suggesting using spray during flowering.
 
I dont switch to flowering nutes with Autos until 3-4 weeks from the first sign of flower. At that point they are still growing and need the N . Do you change a kids diet just becasue they hit puberty? Keep in mind I dont grow a lot of autos. With Photos I used to change to bloom nutes at the flip now I wait until the first sign of flower and change to bloom nutes gradually. I has increased my yields by volume but I never weigh it.
 
We had the same temps in Maine and humidity to match. Global warming is real, it may not be real for the reasons they claim but its real no matter what is causing it. The earth is a mother right? Maybe shes just getting hot flashs lol
 
I believe the issue is pH. I never checked, no meter. Got pH paper, 0-14, pH is 5. We were getting rain so I barely had to water, thus no issues prior. I have a meter on the way, also got pH paper 5.5-8.0. Now watering with pH'd water & nutes. Alternating veg & flower.
