You def need a source of cal/ mag but those white areas look more like pest damage to me.

if the spots are brown and being washed out by the flash, i'd say calcium. check your nute ph going in. i can't tell if thats soil or coco, if its coco ph it to 6.1, if its soil, 6.8, if its lower than that you can lock out calcium and magnesium.
doesn't really look like pest problems to me. the only other thing i can think if is early stage root rot, and i don't think thats what this is. give it some cal mag and check your ph.

I dont think anything is wrong. If you look at the shapes of the residue on the leaves I believe its from spraying what you sprayed or splashing of nutrient solution depending on when you sprayed with lights on or off.

then ph to 6.1, i used to stay at 5.8 because thats what people said, and i got calcium problems a lot. started letting it center around 6.1, the problems went away. i drop it down to 5.8 once in a while, and let it rise to 6.3 once in a while, but it stays around 6.1 most of the time.

Put a 1/4 inch layer of plain sand on the top of the soil its a great pest preventative and should be used in every potted plant I believe. Soils of different types are loaded with eggs and larvae of so many species and in the right conditions they flourish.

if it was higher up where the lights would hit it more i might think so, those leaves don't get enough light to be getting water burnt like that.....i think...

thats not soil, its coco. i guess coco can come with pests in it, but i would think less than soil. it surely can host fungus gnats as soon as you put it in a room that already has them, which is why i like to let it dry out a little more than most people seem to

I,sprayed the quantum apocalypse neem leaf shine , 20 mins before lights went off,,, ,so I don't think it's tat,,could've been , splashing , of nutrients on the leaves,but,kind of thinking , cal,deficiency ,and don't see any,gnats,might need ph meter , I'm using ph,kit,,old school , lol,so kinda hard to catch color , for ph,,in nutrient , water,because it turns color,real fast than ,back to nutrient , water color
