Looks like the start of Mg def, but looks like you caught ti time. Also looks like the leafs are transpiring (leaf edge curling) more water than there are taking in

well now. we all loe posters like you!!!! + rep for not being a douche and actually studying your problem before blindly asking for advice. now IMO if it is a Mg def. you caught it very early and def did the right thing by adding the cal mag when i had the Mg def. it showed up as rusty little spots on my leaves not so much as fading betweeen the veins AKA chlorosis. but either way i figure your on the right route...
actually reading and showing some effort!!!

quite possible but from my limited experience the curling of tips is more often than not caused by nute burn. very subtle overages on nutes or improper Ph's cause curling more than overwatering... usually ppl are so scared of overwatering because everyother poster says "overwatered" lol... it may just be me but from the second i started looking for proper info on growing it usually says in bold letters that overwatering is a common problem. (i think that alone caused a bunch of really dumb NewB's to underwater plants or to water plants with too high of nutes cuz they only water once a week or so. i realise u may think ima NewB but read through a buncha threads for News an youll see it overstated many times over.

it reall is nice huh... thats how i feel at least im grateful to be a part of the RIU faminly an hope to see you become a part of it as well. hope to see YOU in the grow journal section soon posting something about how you cant keep up with plant growth because they are just so happy these broads eat more than you can throw at em!!!!
on another note like i said i really do think you are on the proper route to putting an end to your problem.Cal Mag stopped my leaf spotting problem but you really do need to watch the ph. dont expect the spots to go away but DO expect for the problem to not spread to any other leaves. if it does stop what you are doing because its not the answer. im sure you know this already but it's very hard for us to properly diagnose YOUR plant. we can only provide a lil nudge toward the right information. the plant hospital section has a really good link to a really long list of deficiencies and really great explanations as to why each problem occurs (although some of it looks like jargon you kinda have to be into bio. they even separate different problems into immobile (micronutes some types of N) nute lockouts or def and mobile ( N-P-K and other major elements) nute lockouts and def.

they r in rockwool hard to over water
yea you would think... but like i said watch that ph. especially if you didnt soak the rockwool in ph'ed water before you put them in there. Rock wool has a high ph i assume you did since they made it this far but if you added more recently it could account for a higher than normal oh. esp with top feed systems. but i think you got your answer already.

i forgot to ask this but are you already flowering? because if so i may have no clue what the problem is... I know plants react to different nutes differently in veg compared to flower...

aint that cause the temp is to high cause mine did the same and i lowerd the temp after a few days was ok the edges go up as a way to cool down could be wrong though did do alot of reserch on the net and that was my fix lowering the temp and moving the light up

I had this same problem. My light was too close and it stressed the plant. I was overwatering as well. . Sounds funny but I raise the light and it worked. I always thought deficiencies showed up in leaves looking burned or discolored? I have one plant that for most of my grow until recently looked camo and it thrived. I hit it with Cal Max and camo is gone. Goodluck!
