Why did you do that?

It will be fine if you treat it normally.

Dont spray anything on it. Let it dry out a bit before watering again and dont do things to it without knowing what you're doing.

Additives go in the soil not on the plant.
also when using nitro derived cal mag you will have to adjust pH as those products generally Spike toward acidic.

do you suggest cut the whole five leaves? or just rip the dirty part?

Get some neem oil spray or one with pyrethrins. If you can't buy these things, make some insecticidal soap.

Good god, do not use neem oil. I'd toss a plant out before I spray oil on it.

Let the plant dry a bit, and in a few days try some safers insecticidal soap, it's natural, it degrades fast and it works.

It looks from your description and very zoomed out blurry photo that you have aphids.

So you know, insect control is realized by weakening the carapace (shell structures) of the insect. This is done by via breaking down the calcium in the carapace so that the insect can no longer shed its carapace, it then dies.

Giving them calcium is the exact wrong thing to do
