Buy some cal mag and introduce it into your feeding schedule.

You got any suggestions ?Haha.

My suggestion is for the OP to provide some kind of information about his/her grow........medium, nutes, feeding schedule, age, water source, pH in and out........you know, important stuff like that.
Recommending calmag without knowing anything about the grow is irresponsible...........besides, it's neither a calcium or a magnesium problem.

What’s the problem then ? I was going to lay all that out there for them but you beat me to it lol. That really just looks like cal mag def to me. I have a few plants last year that looked exactly like that in his pic and cal mag fixed em.

Maybe he’s having nute lockout from improper ph now that he know the questions let’s see what he says

FYI.
Magnesium deficiency is yellowing in between the veins of the leaf.
Calcium deficiency is brown spots.
There is no such thing as a calmag deficiency........it's one or the other.
The problem with the OP's plant is neither calcium or magnesium.
My guess without knowing anything other than a picture is that it's a pH problem.
But I don't guess.

I’m just pretty sure that deficiency’s can present themselves in slightly different ways it just looks really similar to this photo there’s a few more out there as well. I’m not suggesting calcium and magnesium are the same deficiency at all I just think it’s best to use cal mag instead of one or the other. It’s always been great for my plants but like you said he probably has lockout of some kind.

so my feeding schedule so far since they are still small I have only done organic nutrients which are worm tea on Tuesdays and fish/seaweed blend on Fridays. Other than that it's just water but I've never checked the ph levels I don't know how to do any of that yet. And the soil is miracle grow moisture control mix.

They make ph test drops if you’re low on cash if not buy a ph meter for water. Always ph your water after adding any nutes to it. You can raise and lower your ph using ph up and down.

That mix claims to have enough nutrients for 6 months. My guess is they're time release salts rather than organic inputs, but I'm not sure on that.
I agree that this is likely a pH issue and the teas and fish mix you've added likely threw off the cation exchange.
Try just pH'd water for a bit. It should straighten out and in the future, select a better substrate for your plants.

It can be both, Calcium and Magnesium are both secondary macronutrients that are the majority of what soils are comprised of. If you are growing in hydro with pure RO water, you would run into a deficiency of both very quickly. I am not saying that is the issue, just pointing out you can have a Ca and Mg deficiency simultaneously.
Also unlikely to be a ph issue if he is growing in store bought potting soil. Very easy to confirm.

If they’re not autos I would transplant them into some fox farms ocean forest. That has enough nutrients in it for roughly a months time.

Yeah I've heard only good things about that soil and yeah they are ethos member berry females so il probably try that

Yes for sure just be careful feeding them in this ans when they get transplanted it’s not uncommon for the plants to be slightly burned. They will come out of it sorry for not asking all the normal questions I was caught up in something after my first post. I would use fox farm grow big, big bloom and cal mag all ph adjusted water. When you go into flower use tiger bloom and flower fuel.

And taper off slowly when it’s looking like the end is near ! Especially with the flower fuel.
