Brown spots in flowering

Hey guys,
I'm in need of some advice, I'm growing a few white widow plants and they have been flowering for 3 weeks now, in the past 2 weeks they have developed brown/rust colored spots growing interiorly outward on the top fan leaves. The grow set up is small and personal, it's hydroponic drip system, using a cfl light. Temperature is usually 75-80, and humidity averaging out to 43%. The pH is consistently kept at neutral, and I'm at ~550ppm.
I also use fox farm hydro nutrients, but I never use the full amount that they say just for precautionary purposes. I tried looking up the issue in Greg Green's grow bible and no solutions. I originally thought it was a calcium deficiency, but as I do more research it could be over/under watering or nutrient burn or a number problems.If any one can steer me in the right direction it will jibe greatly appreciated.

Yea the pH is usually good, I use the pH indicator so I keep it looking yellow/green color. Any suggestion on how to make up for the calcium def?

I love how people are so quick to shout out a nutrient deficiency....Plus, you're obviously good about the ph, and that's the reason plants tend to suffer(ph imbalance causing a lockout), not because you're withholding nutrient.

If anything, I'd say you're probably over doing it somewhere in your nkp, your primary nutrients. And also, it does look a little over watered. Your original gut feeling is exactly what I would agree with. Cal-mag is a micro nutrient, important, yes, but a lack of it will seldom produce these results you show.
