I will say if it is a newer leaf it is from too much calcium and if a lower leaf too much mag.
But without seeing the whole plant and knowing all of the information we can't help much.

Looking like a cal def to me... But you gave no info so nothing.to.correlate.that with
Setup
2x 96 reflector marshydro led
2x4x5.5 custom tent
I huge exhaust fan.
24 celius during the day. 10% rh
5 weeks from seed
3x white widows in 5gallon bucket coco coir with 40% perlite
H and g most of the line minus amino and the seaweed stuff.
Feed feed water at 40% of the feed chart that comes with it.
Hard water 260ppm from the tap but i still add 2.5ml calmag per 2 gallons.
Im thinking to much calmag and in locking out phosphate

Its a PH flucuation problem ...

You won't get a correct run off ph measurement in coco. You should always feed with coco and never use plain water. If you're using plain water instead of feeding you'll mess up your coco's ph. With coc 5.7-6.0 is cool with 5.8-5.9 your goal. But if you tap water is at 250+ppm that's high and who knows what's all in it. I'd recommend finding out what's in water or start usin RO water.

You would do best to know what is in your water but I would try no cal mag first with the nutes at a lower concentration every watering.
If I water 2x per week I add up the average weekly amount they have been needing and devide by 2 and feed every watering.
3x devide by 3.
If the mag issue continues then I would add about double the cal mag you were using once and wait to see the results. It may or may not be antagonized by your water.
My well water never needs it in a limed mix. But coco can have different needs as it locks up cal and mag and holds it very tightly.
That is why an above poster wisely asked you if you pre charged your soil.
Maybe an experienced coco grower could expand on this as I grow in peat.

What mag issue? Those are cal spots IME. I currently have plants with a calmag issue. I received plants in coco from a friend and they're used to more cal and mag than my well water has. After a couple of feedings and waterings they started to develop some cal spotting and interveinal chlorosis from mag def. I've since started adding the calmag they need, but I've got great examples of leafs exhibiting each type of deficiency.
I grow in peat with a bit of time release nutes in the mix, so I usually never deal with deficiencies, but these plants are in coco and hungry for calmag. I'll post pics when I can, if I remember LOL.

At 260ppm tap water I would drop the additional calmag.
My theory is that the cal/mag i use is locking up the phosphate.

I did say cal or mag in my first post above. Sorry. I just would want to know if it is too much from my water before I add more issues.
