well the 2 leaves at the bottom that were not zoomed in on are dieing, Bottom leaf shit happens. The other leaf pic that was zoomed in on could be a couple of things, what is in your water?? What kind of nutes and why so lean of a mix at a month old?? That is a DWC bucket yes??

Epsom salts can be used for the Mg part but not really sure bout the Ca part. Distilled water you say?? I hope you have really good air supply to your rez since part of water being distilled is the evaporation of O2!!

is your tap water really bad water? tap water is the best. just let it sit out a day before using it to dissipate the chlorine. tap water contains natural calmag

thats pretty high ppm. a good range is around 50 but best is 0. i would just go and buy some calmag. your plants shouldnt get worse in the time that you get that supplement. also when topping off your rez. you should add the water with no nutes and adjust the ph after your level. never add more nutes. you only add em during a complete rez change

If you read stinkyatticks sticky thread about Epsom salt, she will tell you Epsom should not be used to cure a calmag deficincy. You really need to cure it by adding calmag. You really need calmag. If your still in veg and have a lil vegging to do then you should be ok but if flowering your not going to build beautiful sugar/photo leaves cause they are going to eat themselves and brown up more causing loss of yeild. Also when flowering calmag deficiency will cause weak stems and fluffier buds rather than a strong stock.
