HELP! What is causing these leaf spots?

Hey guys. Does anybody have an idea what is causing these spots on my leaves? These are OG Kush autos grown in FFOF/Nature’s Living Soil. The full details of this grow are below. Should I add some more Nature’s Living Soil as a top dressing to top up on nutes? Thanks for any suggestions!

Full details:

2 x OG Kush autos from Nirvana, indoors in a 4x4 tent
Age: About 6 weeks since sprouting
Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest with Nature’s Living Soil and perlite (“Living Soil” approach, not “Super Soil” approach)
Fed only water, a mix of spring and filtered drinking water that comes out at roughly 6.5 pH (I feed only water since I’m using living soil)
Light: Black Dog PhytoMAX-2 600 (615 watts from wall)
Temperature: Low 70s during lights off, mid 70s with lights on
Humidity: Upper 40s with lights off, low to mid 40s with lights on
Ventilation: 8” system with 710 CFM fan pulling through two separate large carbon filters (one tail end and one inline) through very long duct work, resulting in a nice breeze coming out in an adjacent room, and tent walls sucking in decently but not extremely hard
Small Vornado air circulator inside tent, blowing 24/7 on low, pointed slightly down to not be directly on leaves

Nutrient lockout - you're not adjusting the pH of the water. Even though you're not adding nutes - plant can't absorb the nutes in the soil if the pH is not between 5.5 - 6.5
 
OG Kush is a notorious calcium/magnesium whore, I have 4 OG's going now so I've been adding lots of dark greens, legumes, and grains to my worm compost bin incase they show signs of deficiency.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I’ll check again but my water usually comes out right at around 6.5, so I’m not sure what I can do about improving pH. What should I do to remedy the situation? Let it go longer to totally dry out? Add an organic cal-mag (is this okay with an organic Living Soil grow)? Something/anything else? Thanks for teaching me!
 
When I used living soil I picked up and used Roots Organic calcium additive. Seemed to work well.

Thanks! Just got some Roots Organic Cal-Mag at the hydro store. Should I use it every time I water? Every other time?
