Barney's Farm - Wedding Cake day 47 Rust Spots

[Duceduck]

Started seeing some rust spots on the fan leaves a few days ago and seems to be progressing. Haven't had any issues with the plants up until now. I have 2 phenos and only the shorter one is having this issue. When the soil was amended a few weeks back (week 3), I added 4 total tbsp of Gaia Green for the 3 gallon of soil. That's 2x tbsp of 444 and 2x 284 (rushed and didn't read the instructions). It should have only been 1 tbsp per gallon and saw some tip burn on the shorter plant but nothing too crazy. The stretching has stopped.

Problem: Rust spots on fan leaf

Medium/grow method: 3 gallon Black Gold Natural & Organic potting mix (0.09-0.03-0.03)

Feed: and supplements used: Amended with Gaia Green, Dolemite Lime, Worm casting, Kelp meal

water source: water PH 6.5-6.8. Soil is thick even with perlite added and normally water the 3rd day each watering or when the soils is completely dry

Strain/age: Barney's Farm Wedding Cake Auto - day 47 (about 3 weeks into flower)

light used: Mars Hydro TS1000

Climate: 50ish RH/79 temp

Additional info: This seems to impacting just the upper portion of the fan leaf. I don't recall but believe 2-3 tbsp of Dolomite Lime was added when I started. I have been giving 1tpsp of molasses per gallon once per week in the last 3-4 weeks.

@Duceduck Dolomite Lime should be used a few weeks before planting and probably was not needed. I don't think that is the problem though. That soil has slow release fertilizer and combined with the Gaia it is out of balance. The only thing you can do now is just ride it out.

As always, thanks MOG. Still got a ways to go so let's see can bounce back.

So I ended up chopping these girls on D75. The jewelers loupe showed mostly cloudy throughout with just a hint of amber. They just started drying but pulled a branch to check trichomes again. The digital microscope isn't the greatest but now i'm thinking i should have left it and waited a few more days for ambers.. Any thoughts AFN?
