Quick question

Rust damage, aka that necrosis on the leaves will not be reversed just by adding cal/mag. They should be greener than they are. Looks like you may also have an absorption (ph) issue. Needs NPK for sure....but if ph is out of range or your mix is inactive you gotta did that first...
What do you feed them?
How long have they been in the same container?
What kind of medium?

Right so then it’s probably time to up the dose. I don’t know if I would go by the schedule but they need more than what you give them; unless it is an absorption issue. Looks to me like maybe they have been in that same container for too long. Potting up just before flowering is always a good idea.
You can see the newest growth is pale compared to the rest of the plant. If you have the space I would go up to a 5 or 7 gal if you can. Otherwise you are going to have to feed them heavy through until maturity. Adding in some worm castings increases activity and can help assist with absorption; if you don’t use it already I suggest also sprinkling some granular mycorrhizae in the hole at each transplant. Place the root ball right on top of it.

No I do not have extra room but I can up the nutrients to at least .5 more a teaspoon more especially with the nitrogen and just let cal mag do its thing...with pH between 6.6

I started using full dosage I guess I'll drop them back down next week thinking or should I just keep them full dosage?

They are not even mid bloom yet; they will fade even more if you back off. Still looks a bit pale to me; doubt you are over feeding it is probably the opposite. That’s the problem with nutrients; you have to go all in with them once the plant demands it. If you potted up to a larger container with fresh mix you could probably back off in soluble npk but there’s no going back now. Keep on doing what you are doing.

I've switch them to full dosage this past Monday so tomorrow is another full dosage feeding....so hopefully that should fill up the remaining of the pale looking

Def better but they should still be greener I think. You will probably need to up the ppms even more once they get a few weeks into flowering.

With that being said should I feed them full dosage again this week so it can get a lil bit Greener and then back the nutes back to half next week?

In SOIL applications.
5-7 days before it begins any visible change.

In hydro applications.
3-5 days.

Look to new growth and only N def shows positive leaf changes. Damaged leaves do not "repair"..
