Yeah it can wait, cal mag problems take a few weeks to show up. So you will have a problem before you see it, and it will take a few weeks to clear up. The dead spots wont turn green again, but they should slow and then stop with in 2 weeks. Are you using RO water?

no. i am using distilled water. not to question you,but you said it takes a few weeks to show up. the plants are only 2 weeks old. i am probably going to buy calimagic by general hydroponics(i like to stick with one products).how about epsom salts. how much of these should i use?

ffof has enough nutes for 35-40 days, no problem. water with plain water - maybe bubble it. watch using salts - you will mess up more than you fix!!!

So they are 2 weeks old, means there has been a lack of cal or lock out from the start. Likely due to the water your using or over feeding. I wouldn't recommend using epsom salts. Upnsmoke13 is right, you shouldn't need to feed them any nutes for 30 days or so. Also if your PH is off, or high levels of salt in the soil, could give you this cal problem. Even if there is cal available in the soil. If you gave me that plant as it is now, I would just give it clean airated tap water for a week and if the problem spread to the newer growth, I would start to give it some cal mag for a week or two.
