Deficiency?

As said that looks like variegation, it is just genetics, I have a plant on at the moment that did that, it soon grew out of it.
A general purpose soil mix is just fine, there is very little point in shelling out on an expensive "cannabis" brand. It will probably feed for a few weeks, so be careful. Rectifying a deficiency is easier than rectifying a toxicity. The plant will soon tell you when it needs some.
Be careful with the CalMag, unless you know the PPMs of your water, too much calcium can cause a lockout of other elements, such as Nitrogen. I need to give CalMag periodically throughout my grows, as my water has a PPM of 23 and checking with my local water company they described my calcium and magnesium content as "trace".
Thanks a lot for the answers guys, i hope that is variegation and i will not have any troubles!
I fed twice already with GH nutes in 1/4 strength, and waiting to see results!
These discolorations i hope they don't give me wrong thoughts about deficiencies, and they will go soon!
Thanks again guys, i will keep updating with photos as my baby grows!
I use RO water, mixed with a little of tap just to have 0.1EC, i measure with EC meter and a digital ph meter!

TBH unless you have a crazy high PPM I don't see the point in RO water. What is the point in using a load of energy to remove minerals, only to put them all back again.
In my region you can't even drink that water, i get 550ppm with NO3 and i am not sure for other elements!
So i use RO for drinking!
Its easier though to start nutrient solution from zero base and building it as you wish!
On my previous houses i was using tap water though, with better ppms, without any issues!
Btw RO is full of waste water, i am not so fan of it, but its one way road for me, with those ppms!

Wow 550 is crazy high. Mine is 330 and I still won’t drink or cook with it. I buy bottled for drinking and I use a filter for my dogs water bowl.
We have natural springs coming out the hill sides all around me and they are around 24ppm so really good water.
I don’t blame you on the RO with those readings.
Hi guys,
I clearly have a problem here and definitely need your advises!
The plant (Amnezia haze autoflower) is one month old now and i had problems with the soil, after some feedings i checked the runoff and the EC was very high,
actually the meter was reading the maximum that it could!
My feedings was 1/2 of the recommended so i realized that something was going wrong with the soil!
I decided to transplant it to a new pot with new soil!
Check the pics below, do you thing is there any chance for the plant, or is it dying?
I feed with ph 6,2 and EC around 1ms/cm
Temp 22oC and humidity 45%

Magnesium deficiency
It looks like calcium deficiency more, but its not only this!
After transplanting i was still taking crazy numbers of EC in the runoff water, like 3.45ms/cm
So i decided to flush, i flushed her 2 days ago and i am waiting for recovery
I think she looks a bit more happy!

Sorry but I don’t see a single spot resembling calcium deficiency. Maybe it’s my glasses.
Check the previous photos those brown tips on some leaves, doesnt look like cal deficiency? I am not insist, but as i saw some pics from internet, it seems like calcium!

I’m referring to the last pictures which still show magnesium deficiency. No spotting in those photos.
