Leaf Spotting

I am having problems with a couple of my plants. Spots started to appear on the lower leaves a couple of days ago. Today I saw that other plants are starting to display this problem so I decided to get help.

Info on my setup. These plants are a mix of indoor seeds from bcseedking. The plants are 3 weeks into 12/12. They are in 1 gal pots with foxfarm ocean forest soil. I lightly fertilized last week with 5-5-5 organic nutrients. I water about every 4 days with RO water.

On a side note, I have been dealing with what I believe is a Mg deficiency for 2 weeks. I went out of town and my babies suffered (Will never do that again). I am trying to remedy this with cal/mag when watering. Here is a pic of the family after I got back from my trip.

Higher resolution pics are in my gallery in case you need to see the leaves closer.

they look way to young to be on 12/12 and even to young to be feeding. i could be wrong.

whew, i was worried. i don't know about the spots but it looks like they could start to use a little nitrogen. maybe start with 1/4 strength. the spots, i don't know. ???????????

I gave 1/4 strength nutes last week and they started to green up. I need to water today and was thinking about adding 1/4 strength nutes but I was worried about burning the plants.

I started the nutes when I was having a problem with yellowing leaves on the bottom.

I have those same spots and would love to know what they are. My big plant(5 feet) has them but the spots are only on leaves closer to the ground. I tend to think it's the plant pulling some kind of nute to feed the top growth which all looks lush and green. So I've started nuting just a touch extra. But I'm just guessing.

It started a couple of days ago on one plant, now more plants are showing it. So I guess to answer the question, yes more spots are appearing.

Ive been doing some reading and I think these spots may be due to progressing Mg deficiency. I am going to try a foliar spray of Epsom salt tonight if I don't hear any reasons not too.
