5.5 in, 6.2 out...too high pH!

Are the rust spots mostly on the older lower leaves?

I watered 5.9 and still read 6.2 , when plant was 15 days old I was feeding 6.1 and run off was 6.8 ( picture ) , yes they are at lower leaves and new growth is looking fine as new grow start to grow , lower leaves become spotted .

could this be rootbounded ?

Mg is locked out probably, as new growth develops the plant strips it from the lower leaves and you get those spots. Are you measuring the strength of your nutrients with a meter?

no , I started feeding by 1 drop of each nutrients when plant was little seedling and started as plant grow , These spots happen after I topped plant and flushed coco with 5.5 ph after this I saw these spots ,
I just flushed plant recently with 20 gallon of 5.5 ph ,today I watered with ph of 5.9 and 1 ml of calcium magnesium for each gallon .

could this be calcium deficiency ?

Never ever ever water coco with plain water. ALWAYS water with nutrients. If you don't, you'll strip the cation bank.

I water plants from seed / clone through the beginning of flower with the same strength nutrient solution - 1.2-1.4EC. At least 2 times per day. It's that simple.

after feeding with ph of 5.9 ( compare this to 5.5 I was doing before ) and good aount of calcium magnesium plants feel much better I can tell this just few hours after feed plant growing better . is it possible with my nutrient line I use or my stuff higher ph like 5.9 or 6.0 work better ? as it is pure coco

Anything between 5.4 and 6.3 is fine. Your problem is not pH, your problem is feeding plain water to coco, which should never ever ever be done. Feed your plant 1.2-1.4 EC nutrient solution every time you water it, a minimum of twice per day. I guarantee your problems will go away.
