I'm certain it's Calcium deficiency if I wanted to come in here and check first. I've never seen it localized on the middle of the fingers of the leaves.

I agree it’s cal/mg
Why do you say that? That one part of the plant is lacking both calcium AND magnesium??? First off, calcium deficiency starts at the very top of the plant, all new growth, not in one section..magnesium deficicency would be more spread out and looks nothing like those specks on the veins! The fact that's its only on one branch, or one small section, seems to indicate that's its not a nutrient issue. The only nutrient issues to cause that would be calcium, which it cant be lacking, or manganese deficiency. Since it's only in 1 part, i'd say some bug for sure, maybe they left and stopped along the way, just odd that's its only on the veins!

I think the problem is just cal, but a bottle of cal/mg is a very easy answer,
I say this because I’ve seen this before, weather they where running RO or there where PH swings n starting to lack or lock out some stuff. Little cal/mg stopped the problem (I’m also assuming the OP checked for bugs) the fact that that problem is so even along the veins , makes me think it’s not bugs.
