6 clones different deficiency?

I have been at this a little while now. Finally switched to dtw coco. Very pleased with the results compared to promix. Ok, I have six clones from the same mother. At the end of week 4, 3 of them showed calcium deficiency in some of the fan leaves, rusty yellowing in the margins. I adjusted the ph a little higher and it has stopped. The other 3 plants have no sign of any issue. In a 4x8 tray, all in the same environment, and feed schedule, from the same reservoir. 78°F, 46% rh, ph 6.5, 800ppfd, 1.3 ec
Wtf, why only 3, Any ideas?

I use MaxiGro @ 1.0-1.2 EC 5.6-5.8 pH and MaxiBloom @ 1.4-1.6 EC @ 5.8-6.0 pH in coco with RO filtered water.

EC/PPM is kinda irrelevant without knowing what source water and fertilizer/products you're using.

Suggestions:
Reduce PPFD to 300-500
Reduce pH to 5.8-6.0
Increase humidity to 60-65%

Take a look into VPD, your running a very high VPD around ~1.8 That will stress plants and show weird symptoms like deficiencies due to over transpiration.

Using jacks in ro water under 5ppm. With a leaf temperature of 75°f my vpd is fine for mid ro late flower. Starting week 7.Screenshot_20240503_072108_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20240503_072119_Chrome.jpg As I said my plants have never looked better after I made a slight adjustment. Why would I change everything? Thanks for all the ideas. I appreciate other opinions.
