Yes, it looks like it could be calcium/magnesium , if your pH is at the correct level (between 6.5 and 7.0). If your pH is out of whack, that might actually be the issue.
Check your pH. If it's good, make sure you are providing the right amount of your regular nutrients. If that's good, then you would probably benefit from CaliMag/CaliMagic to boost your nitrogen.

Yeah, if the waters too treated, RO filters are really helpful.

Interesting - I think my water might have that too, is that something just leaving your water out overnight to gas will get rid of?
Also, could maybe be overwatering?

No, chloromines don't dissipate like chlorine does. It's because of that, that water treatment plant a use it now. It lasts much longer. You should be able to go to your local water facility's website and see what's in the water. If you can smell any hint of a chlorine smell in your water, it's probably too much for your plants.
It's even debatable if letting regular chlorinated water out for a day does anything.
RO filters capture chloromines, and are widely used. They're not all that expensive, but you do have to replace your filters regularly.

yeah this grow I am going to change the water I use because what I used to use at a different house I was at was giving me much better results
I've read up alot on removing chloramine you want to charcoal filter it first to seperate the ammonia and then you can use RO to filter it out
It may be a better idea to find a spring source locally or use a rain catching system although rain water also has pollutants

If you don't have any other viable options where you live, you can safely use sodium thiosulfate as a dechlorinator, 0.1 grams treats 6 gallons of tap water that contains chloramine. Where I live they use a heavy amount of chloramine in the city water so I use sodium thiosulfate to treat any water that I may add to my fish pound, or to water my gardens and the plants that are in the greenhouse. Its bio-safe if used correctly, (ie: its not harmful to fish, animals or plants). How I use it, I fill a 500 gallon open air tank with city water, then I mix in the sodium thiosulfate, then I let it sit for 48 hours so the Chlorine can evaporate. And after that, I always test it, and their is never anymore Chlorine in the water after 48 hours.
