Magnesium deficiencies normally don't start in new growth, they start in older growth. Possible broad mites? I'd scope them at 100x and see if you see any tiny critters.
If a deficiency, the ones that appear in new growth are: calcium, boron, sulfur, copper, iron, and manganese. Of those, I'm only familiar with calcium and it doesn't look like calcium to me.

+1 for possible broad mites.
I think I also see white small larvae on the 2 fingers that are in focus.
If you zoom you can DEFINATELY see something there that looks larvae like.

I don't think it's broad mites..
Do you USE a Ca/Mg product when you feed? Have you amended the soil with Dolomite lime?
If not,,,,,use a Ca/Mg at full strength right away. Looks like it's a related pH problem with some nutrient locking started. Your going to need to address the pH problem with some top dressing of a garden lime.....and be sure to pH all ingoing liquids to 6.5 before use.

ok so I checked for broad mites but i didn't see anything but i did pull the plant outside and away from the other girls. I will be taking more pics when i get home for luck. I use to ph my water every time but I'm on a well and it starts off high but after my roots organics it balances out at 6.7 and it always balances out so i rarely check ph anymore and this is my only plant suffering from this. Ill post more pics soon.

looks more like a def than a pest.

that damaged growth most likely wont bounce back. Watch for new wonky growth means you still have mites. imo those pesticides wont get rid of the broad mites...spinosad is best
