let me look into it a little more to make sure i'm not blowing smoke up your ass but yeah that would be what I would do. You caught it early on so you're on top of it

before we can successfully diagnose your problem we need to know what your setup is , feeding schedule, watering schedule, temps, ph and any other info that might help...

Took the words right out of my mouth lol, I would first recommend checking the PH because that's the easiest to diagnose first then if you know that's going good then we can investigate further

Ph reading is 6.3 im using roots organics full feeding schedule, using down to earth cal mag but in lower dosages. Foliar feeds are ancient amber one week and extreme serene foliar the next week. Ive not yet done a cal mag foliar spray. Thanks for yalls input!

ok lol I guess you have your mind made up thats what it is...
why so much foliar spraying? I think you are fucking up your stimata in the plant is why you are getting the mozaic pattern. back off clogging up the pores

Pic 2 has new wrinklyish growth that you speak of...do you have a microscope? or a magnifying glass? I want you to look at around the base leaves of the new growth . Looking for broad mites at 30x's zoom. get back to me...hopefully we can rule this out

if it is cal/mag, as your already adding some, I do not believe adding more will help you.
Try adding some amino acid. The best amino acid will have the word "amina"
on the label. This is a chelating agent that'll aid the uptake of the cal/mag.

No mites under the leaves, thinkin its definately an early stage of mag defeciency. Goin on to next step with amina acid and ill post a follow up picture just for posterity.

I'm thinking it's gotta be a magnesium deficiency as well. Since magnesium isn't mobile, that could explain why its happening to the upper parts of the plant.
It could also be Manganese, and i highly doubt it's something like zinc or copper because those deficiencies have more yellowing.
