Are you sure it’s fungi on the leaves and not something else like a cal/mag def?

That is calcium rust; 100 percent sure. Add cal/mag and cut back on whatever nutes you are using for a week or so.

If it was fungi the bud would be affected
I have been feed nutes once a week and watering about every other day . I am watering With RO water and I have not been adding cal mag when I water only when I feed and about a week ago I started doing the cal mag with watering also since I am running RO water. And then it just got worse. I haven’t done any NUTEs since last Monday thinking it was a lock out but it just got worse and it even started slowing down taking the water. I have not watered for 3 days now. I will put this out there this is my first grow.
I have been feeding the last fine since I was in week 8 last week ..... I am still learning how to read the plantsWhat have you been feeding that plant? Overfeeding of any nutrient can cause nutrient antagonism which can lockout other nutrients. Excessive potassium and phosphorus can lockout calcium.

When i water and add cal mag I have been using 3ml of cal mag ..... so this means I need to up the cal mag? Also do I need to cut off all the bad leaves because that would be a lot of the leaves?What have you been feeding that plant?

There really isn't much of anything you can do at this point. That's an auto isn't it? Just finfish it out and move on to the next grow. Is there a reason you're growing auto's indoors under lights? For you're next grow I highly advise growing photoperiod plants.
Unless you have a reason for growing auto's indoors under lights then it's best to grow photo's.

Thank you for your help..... they are autos and since this is my first grow I was thinking it would be easier to learn a lot with autos..... and with that being said I have learn a lot. What is your opinion on how hard photoperiods are to grow for first times? If this problem with the cal mag happens again would I need to add more cal mag with just watering since is am using RO water?

Auto's don't just grow automatically. In fact they can be finicky and you have no time to correct any issues before flowering because auto's flower on their own. Photo's are no more difficult and give the the benefit of allowing you the option of when to initiate flowering by changing light hours. It seems many new growers think auto's are easier. The only thing auto's do is start flowering on their own regardless of light hours. That's a good thing when growing outdoors in a short season climate or to get an outdoor harvest mid summer. Other than that there are few scenarios where growing them indoors makes sense.
If you're growing indoors under lights it makes no sense to grow auto's. You have access to better genetics with photoperiod plants. Auto's have Ruderalis genetics to make them flower regardless of light hours. I've found auto's to be inferior to photoperiod plants and many seem to have a high leaf to calyx ratio making for an inferior end product.
I'd advise growing photoperiod plants. The auto you grew obviously had issues and there was nothing you could do before it started flowering. If you want to have more control of your grow then grow photo's.
That's a small plant. Wouldn't you have rather it started flowering when it was much bigger so you could have gotten a larger yield? With photo's you control when a plant starts flowering. Auto's have their place but most indoor growers would be better off growing photo's.
I can understand all aspects of your opinion and since I did not understand a lot of things that came with growing. I through that it would have been easier to start with autos..... I have made the decision that giving the holidays that I was going to do a nothing run of autos with things I would like to change because I know a small bit more. I think my plants are small because I made a lot of mistakes starting out and would like to try it..... I have an order from seedsman in the works with white widow photos coming any day now so I will give it a try. The tent is a 2x4 and I have 2 1000 watts king led lights and I have a 3x3 drying tent also. My hardest thing was watering at the beginning and I over watered them a lot. But I am the type of person that likes to pick some ones brain instead of reading....
Here is the whole set up.
