Freckled Yellowing Leaves - K/Cmg def?

Hey Ya'll

I have been noticing some necrosis/yellowing on some leaves on my 3 ladies. It isn't a major issue as most of the plant seems to be doing just fine, but I wanted to scout for some opinions as to what is going on here.

I've consulted the leaf def/tox chart and this seems to be a combination of what I think is K & Calmag deficiencies. I'm not 100% on this so I'd like some feedback!

Medium: Promix HP / Dr Earth 4-4-4/ EWC
Lights: Mars Hydro TSL2000 - 50%, apprx 20in, 19/5 - I have been raising/lowering based on how the plant looks. Decided to lower them recently after some much needed defol uncovered some nodes that were underdeveloped.
Environment: Light on 80f/60rh Light off 70-74f/65rh
Feeding: Feed/water/water/Feed - EC- .9-1.2
Nute: 10-3-6 on feed days. I added 1/2 strength calmag only twice during this grow so far (separated by two weeks). Added some Lotus Bloom 1/3 strength once just to boost pk levels. I also did a Dr. Earth 4-4-4 tea about 1.5 weeks ago to boost the microbial life, and added some molasses a few waterings after.
Strains: Bruce Banner, Skywalker OG, Black Widow

Misc - added nematode SF as preventative for gnats

Any help is appreciated gentlemen!

Thanks!

looks like a mix of not enough food,should be dark green.Stick with one food,so 5 gallons promix add 1 cup 444 mix and plant.top dress every week 1tbls per week+ewc say 2-3 cups.Lime already in PM hp and in 444 so no calmag.
For a quick fix now some fish hydrsolate like 2-3-1 or more N like a 5-1-1. will help.Or even some salt food at 1EC will work quickly.

Lights are probably a little too strong as I noticed some bleaching on upper growth - you'll notice a few holes or gaps on each plant - trying to jumpstart the growth that was hidden before I defol'd. The necrosis is really what bothers me - I'd be happy if it was a nute def/tox. Hoping its not due to critters

10-3-6 is from the local shop Whitney Farms brand. It has 3 cal and 1.5 Sulphur in addition to the npk

Daytime temps are 80-81f. Dips a little at night, naturally.

Ok u said around 1EC you feed so has to be water soluble salt stuff.So mixing the two ,organic and salt, has messed up the balance.
I like to stick to one way/kind.
The pics show a lot of yellow, which is why I say shes hungry.But could be a toxicity with the mix you gave her blocking everything.
I know the pk boost stuff didnt help,it never does lol.
Id mix up your salt food 1EC and feed to a healthy runoff 1-2 gal min.Wash out the old start fresh.

Spray them down with some Epsom salt, then when you water or feed them again, add 1/2 tsp of Epsom salt per gallon to the mix!
