Yea, that's the start of magnesium and cal def. The rust spots are probably from under-watering and/or PH being off. Calmag @5tbl per gal every other watering for a bit.

You can use Calmag or I like to use Epsom salt 1Tbps per gallon will get rid of any Mag Def Id say every other watering for this method as well although after the 1st watering you should notice it helping within a day or two if it will. The brown spots wont come back but it will stop spreading.

Ive been using calmag every watering since start of veg. I guess just not enough since general consensus is that is is indeed calcium deficiency. Ill increase doses significantly and hope for best. Im starting to loose fan leaves at alarming rate i seriosly need to get this figured out

It is more likely too much calcium or mag causing nutrient antagonism leading to lockout.

I would likely give fresh water to the set medium and then add back a lower dose of balanced nutes. And no cal mag.

You did not mention what your water is like. It is the most important factor in my opinion.
