Weird deficiency

Was thinking phosphorus but its early flower (1week4days). The plants also have been drinking alot less water than usual even tho its been hot (watering every 5 days or so instead of 3) is this some sort of side effect? I don't have pictures of the plants because lights just went out and i don't have my green light but i grabbed 1 for a picture.

They don't typically get it but i did give it last watering because i thought it might be something along those lines. I've been growing this strain a long time and haven't really ever needed to use it before.
same soil? that's what it looks like though.

My only problem with that is that it was more of a blotch then little brown rust spots. Would this mean its different or just more of an advanced case?
I recon backtracker has nailed it. No its not advanced but you want to get on top of it before it does become advanced.
But go by the new growth.

Sorry now that i'm not busy i can upload pics (lights on but leaf color not really relevant to what i'm looking for here) noticed i've got some slight droop to my plants and some serrated edges (thought this was heat stress but room hasn't even been over 80 at canopy so i doubt that is what caused it) Was going to water with cal mag but pots still not dry after 3 days of waiting to water. Is this sort of thing caused by being rootbound? Any info would be nice

Lights are definitely not 2 closer either so i'm sort of stumped on the serrated edges of some of the leaves (not even really the leaves that are highest on the plant)

what is your soil like? those pots look small for plants that big they may need water more often. when leaves do that it's usually something to do with the roots. do you have a moisture meter? you can tell for sure and make sure the water isn't running down the side between the pot and soil also a wetting agent like yucca will let the soil absorb water easier and it's good for stress too.

5 gallon planters and yea i know its been weird lately they've been wet for much longer than usual (almost always dry before 3 days lately its been 4+) . I don't use a moisture meter i can tell with finger/lifting the pot
