My ppm of the tap water I use before adding anything to is 150ppm that after it sits out for a day or two. I have started a foliar spry with cal/mag plus botanicare 1ml per litter ph to 6.3
Good stuff.

Don't go overboard with the foliar misting. You can burn the leaves. One or two applications at the affected areas, then stop spraying while continuing to add Cal-Mag to your nutrient solution at about the same level as you stated you already are (my water is 55-65 PPM and I use 4.5mL per gallon, just slightly more than you're using).

The Nutes you mentioned using in flower were a bit on the weak side. Should consider getting something with a bit more in the PK ratio.

That was kinda my plan was worried about the nitrogen level in the cal/mag plus as it's a nute and am has no value of 2-0-0

Would giving more of the week bloon nutes balance out while cutting back on the veg nutes
I ever only change one thing at a time. Always. If you add Cal-Mag and completely change the rest of the nutrients, you'll never know what fixed or made worse any issues you have.

Add the Cal-Mag, and observe for a couple of feedings. Check if the Mg deficiency stops spreading and getting worse, while monitoring the rest of the plant for other deficiencies or toxicity that shows up.

If the Mg spread stops and everything looks good, do nothing. If other issues crop up, deal with them one at a time.

I have read this before and forgot about it thk you for the reminder. If that's the case then I already up my nutrient feed so I will back off on the cal/mag for now I know sound backwards if i think i got a cal/mag deficiency one thing at a time
