HELP! brown/dead spots? w/ pics

[blakout]

Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I was wondering can you guys help me with my problem. This is my first grow and its not looking so good at the moment. The past couple days I've spotted these brown spots on 2-3 of the leaves and thought nothing of it because the one that shows up are usually turning yellow and die off. Today it seems like they have spread all over the plant. Only thing I'm doing different the past week or so is watering my plant with molasses. I've been reading around it seem it might be a MN deficiencies problem or maybe a PH problem leading to other deficiencies. She is starting on her 4th week of flowering and it would be a shame and waste of hard work and time to lose my baby now. So please help identify and solve this problem. Thanks in advance

I may be a calcium deficiency, not 100% sure.

Plant is from bagsweed is grown indoor with FFOF soil mix with about 25 percent perlites. I feed them MG bloom booster (NPK 15-30-15) at half teaspoon per gallon every other feeding since first week of flowering. PH of the water is around 6.7.6-8 but when I test the soil its around 7. I use the cheapo 2 prong tester with the 3 thing PH,Moist, and light. It might not be accurate because its the el cheapo. I can never get a lower reading then 7 in my soil with this prong tester. I'm growing with 4 26w cfl and 1 46w at the moment and the temp is around 75-80 lights on and between 65-70 when off. Humidity is usually around 50-60 but sometime spike up to high 60's. Here is some more pics hope it helps, thanks.

blakout, At the bottom of my post there is a link to Stinkyattick's troublshooting form you need to fill it in then you should get the help you need.

Just a guess before the troubleshooting form is filled out, but if you are feeding it with Miracle Grow you are likely frying out your organic soil mix. I would not bank on it being a deficiency since you are using steroid like fertilizer. My guess would be that there is some toxicity in the soil that is causing a nutrient lockout. In other words, you may have plenty of MN, but for some reason it is locked in the soil and unavailable to your plant. I think it never hurts to flush, provided your soil drains well, so until someone with a weed PhD comes around to help, I would flush the hell out of it, and quit with the miracle grow for a few rounds, let the soil balance itself back out. Good luck with it.

And Howzit?

Now, I'm just a simple country "spert," and have never seen that symptom.
But, like most folk, I do "play" an Expert when stoned,

Got yer "grain of salt ready? Good.

That cheapo meter is a false economy, you would do well to dump it!
Good digital PH meter can be had for $30.
The "el-cheapo" has cost you more than that in buds already.

Now, we wait patiently for the folks that actually know their stuff.
Bet Stinky Attic nails your symptoms at a glance.

Best of luck

blakout Relative humidity - 50-60% sometime see spike to 70, that is high.

In the flowering stage humidity should be around 30% to 40%.

Morning everyone,
I did a flush two days ago and here is some more pictures I just took today. It seem like its getting a little worst. I think I just over fert it with the MG nutes or maybe too much molasses and cause some sort of lock out. I see what happen in the next couple days. Hopefully someone can pinpoint the problem and help me save my baby. Thank you everyone.
