Shitty! I feed cal/mag regularly. What leads you to believe this is calcium? This will help me understand better and notice earlier next time.Needs calcium!
The deformed leaves are a calcium problem sign along with those brown spots. Could be getting locked out by buildup of other nutes cal is very ph sensitive and doesn't like below 6.2
Can also try looking in the root zone for bugs. When I see leaves like that I think rootzone issue.
Fungus gnats, root aphids etc. would probably see some tiny fliers around the plants.To bad I transplanted this morning.. could of had a better look. What bug were you thinking ? Would I be able to look near the surface?
The brown spots on the leaves are usually an indicator of a calcium deficiency but it almost looks like you have some little chew marks as well. Check the underside of your leaves carefully to make sure this isn't the start of a bug issue.
You may need to up your cal/mag input or you may be dealing with a slightly acidic soil blocking uptake of those nutrients.

Did this start after transplant?
If it recommends 10ml per gallon and you are giving it 5ml, then give it 10ml. If you are already giving what it recommends, up it by 1/3 to 1/2. You can do that for a few feedings and then back to recommended dose. If you add too much calcium, it can antagonize other nutrients. You should be able to find the sweet spot. It is likely a little bit more than what you have been giving it.
A quick way to get calcium to the plant is through a foliar spray, but I don't do those so I'm of little help on that one.
I have upped my cal/mag by just under 1/3 for three feedings now. The spots have seemed to get a bit more pronounced but I don’t see and the influx in the amount. If that makes sense?
the plant seems really droopy, would this also be a cal/mag sign?
should I proceed to increase slowly?
see photos below, I may be paranoid.. they just don’t seem that happy. When they were in early veg these plants seem like they were absolutely loving life..First run in Coco.
thanks,
what are you running for lights?“but I don’t see any influx in the amount” my bad just smoked one when I wrote that last response.
1x 325 cmh and a 125 cfl for some added white/blue.what are you running for lights?
So the spots are still there, but new ones aren't appearing? That would be a good thing. The spots aren't likely to recover but the fact that you are seeing no progression is nice.
They do look a bit droopy, when was the last time you watered them? Under and overwatering look about the same, but this may be a bit of soggy soil?
The transplant could definitely be apart of it. Coco you do want to keep wet, but you wouldn't want to water a seedling as much as a mature plant, even though you are keeping the coco wet in both instances, so there are levels of watering and wetness. Possibly turn yours down a notch or two and see if they perk up within 2 days.
