Well it doesn't look like typical heat stress or wind burn or anything. I'm gonna go ahead and say it's probably something to do with the PH being out of whack, and/or a nutrient issue.

I would try to flush the soil out but the holes are dug in clay dirt so the water doesn't really go anywhere quickly

Haven't given anything but a lil calmag in the last few days but its so hot that by 1pm they look ready to wilt

I'm suffering the same problem due to the native soil I used for my current indoor. I would just water it with plain water, filtered if able (although I use tap). And go ahead and try drilling or poking 1/4-1/2 inch hole in the bottom half of the pot its in, that will allow you to flush and watch water run through properly. But also, don't overwater to try and correct anything, as overwatering only ever makes nutrient related problems worse.

My bad, dark picture, and I just assumed because usually in ground plants don't have drainage issues. Keep us updated with what new growth looks like and stuff

had this problem with my guerrilla grow, it happens in humid conditions i find anyway so i assume something to do with molecules having trouble cheating which makes it difficult for the plant to intake the cal/mag but its far from dying so just be patient, you cant change the humidity outside so all you do now is wait.

Humidity or lack of? It is over 100 degrees already and dry as a bone here in cencal

both a lack and high amount can make metal ions from being insoluble to the plant. humidity dependent polymorphic salts make the bonding bridge for metal ions for them to become soluble for the plant and becomes stagnant and locks when the humidity is not to the right percentage

idk man you choose the course of action. just telling you whats going on, personally i would just leave it be. doesn't seem that severe. mother nature has made the conditions like this for years and pot still exists so it will persevere in the end.

Loosen up that soil and add some mulch. If it's triple digits, you need to shade your rootball. Feel of the soil and see if it needs water. That would be my guess.
