does this look like a calcium deficiency?

in the whole 18 days I've only give them 1 half strength feed

the mimosa are doing just fine yet the grape candy breath are really struggling

my environment is pretty stable and as it should be

so yeah just after a few opinions on what you all think this might be

cheers

Just to clarify your running 4x 260w QB kits which is 1040w + over that small space?
What distance from the plants? How big is the space your lighting?

Ah fair enough, I didn't realise first glance at your pics that there were more plants than the first pic, thought you'd gone maximum overdrive on that little area.

Yeah it looks like a bit of cal def in some places, but I still think its more light shock looking at the pale yellowing on whole plants.
Is your temp up and your VPD on point?

oh yeah mate I know what you mean.. they are almost to powerful for this tent tbh.. today I upped the lights a bit to see if that sorts the taco leaf.. but yeah I'm at a loss.. the plants in the left of my room are doing just fine yet on the right there all looking pretty rough.. same light nutes and everything.. my temps are sitting at 26 during the day and about 21 at night.. rh might be a tad low at 50 percent rh but I really don't know... that's my previous grow below 20190717_185932.jpg

Its hard for me to be certain, normally I would expect to see red leaf vein if it were just too much light.
Don't want to lead you down the wrong path when it could just be calcium, which there are signs of.
All I know is in veg I have to be dimmed to 50% range and keep by temps over 80f for things to look awesome.
Sorry I cant help nail it down better , I have a tendency to see light intensity issues when its not always the case.

My thoughts at 1st glance are exactly what Bernie420 suggested.

The necrotic areas that look similar to magnesium look more like light burn to me with dead tissue between the veins.
There is some leaf curl in the 2nd to last pic also suggesting light stress.

Still feeling nitrogen and magnesium are needed or maybe a balanced fertilizer as a top dressing and a light dose of Epsom salt dissolved in the water.

It looks like you are using two different soils. What are they?
