Had some spotting start to show up 2nd week of 12/12 not a lot so I just trimmed it off and after about a week it would be on about 5% of my canopy. After the 3rd trim back I decided I had a calcium deficiency and up my calmag 1 week later the spotting has aggressively advanced to closer to 40% of my canopy any help on what's actually going would be much appreciated

Yup, you've got a textbook quality example of a Ca deficiency.
The CaMg will help but you don't expect immediate results and existing damage will not improve.
Chopping leaves off that show a deficiency, while innovative, is not an effective practice.
Next time you see a deficiency, resist the temptation to grab the scissors.

I thought that was the easiest diagnosis ever but I'm confused to why the symptoms got so much worse after using my calmag from 2-4ml per gal. Should I use more? Wait another week at current feedings? Up micro instead of calmag?
I upped my bloom mix 10ml-14ml same feeding I up the calmag. There is a bit of documentation in my journal https://www.rollitup.org/t/my-projects.1088892/page-5

Lag time
More is rarely better, seems you're already giving an ample dose of CaMg.
It's 100% a Ca deficiency, to be clear, and avoid needless confusion.
How would you recommend I proceed? What can I do to up her CA intake without throwing her other nutrients out of balance?

I got the same stuff on my leaves, but I attribute it to letting my soil get bone dry. I knew I was running late on watering and it was quite hot. Are you in soil also?

^^^
it used to happen to me also if I was not consistent with my watering
Ok that makes sense I was gone the last weekend in May and she went over 3days with out water. I was realy happy with their developed when I was gone and it was the 2nd water after I was back that the issue really spread which seems like a normal lag time.. I'm normally on a 48hr schedule and find in weeks 4-6 most of my lady's want a little more. 48 24 48.
I suppose I should just keep trucking with what I'm doing and if I see another hard spread do a flush?
Yes soil I'm running cutting-edge in happy frog
