I have been having consistent issues in my garden with what I believe are cal/mag deficiencies.

Soil: 25%FFOF, 25% Happy Frog, 50% peat&perlite mix (also added 2tbs lime/gal and some EWC)
Light: 4' 8 bulb T5 about 4" from canopy, temps are 75-82
*RO WATER*
I give 5ml botanicare calmag with every watering, and have not given the plants anything besides calmag so far.
I ph the water to 6.5 every time also.
I'm very frustrated because no matter what I do I just can't seem to fix this problem

Top dress a TBS of Epsom Salt and Dolomite lime. That will take care of it. I top dress the Epsom Salt once every 40days and foliar feed with it once a week before lights off. If you add the epsom salt you won't have to water the calmag in your waterings anymore and if you add the lime you won't have to adjust your ph any more.

Thanks for the reply man, so since I have the lime in there I can water with a really low ph? When I mix all my nutes together the ph is like 4.5!

Yea top dress a Full Tablespoon of Dolomite lime so that you don't have to mess with ph any more. Then top dress a TBS of Epsom salt and just repeat every 40 days but just with the salt . Foliar spray some Epsom Salt on your ladies once a week too and your plants will love it TRUST ME. Once a week about 5 mins before lights off i make a foliar spray of Epsom Salt, Kelp meal, Molasses and Neem oil. I do this until 1st week of flower then I foliar spray with just Epsom salt, kelp, and molasses till 3rd week of flower then I just stop completely.

Raise your lights a little, my plants looked exactly like that and I raise my light because it was stressing them out and the edges flattened out, during veg the three most common micro deficiencies are zinc, iron and magnese so that could be why there are dead spots but do not look bad! Quick recovery!
