Cal-Mag issue?

So, the last few days I've been on this roller coaster of trying to figure out what's going in with my plants.
I know its not any kind of bug because there's not nesting, but I did recently get rid of some fungus flies by using the round tables that you crumble on top of the soil.

I've been told cal-mag might cure my issue so I've put a small portion of it in my pHed water.
Of course it takes a few days for the soil to pull anything but I just want to make sure I'm on the right track with this problem.
And I think possibly I'm not giving them enough organic tea nutrients.

Photos below, thank you guys. Your help is not only appreciated by me but my ladies that would like to stay healthy!
Xoxo

Look pretty healthy to me. Little hungry maybe. Calmag isnt gonna hurt anything. Maybe try a stronger tea next feeding.

The last two are definitely Ca deficiency. First one could show Mg. The dark spots look purplish (phosphorous def?). Those three are locked out in acidic soil.

Or, the purple spots could be blemishes from thrips. You said you had flies. Sure they weren't thrips?

But, I definitely see Ca def.

Thank you!! Its hard not to be discouraged by the looks of it. I'm glad I'm not over doing it though, I've increased my tea a little bit more this time just waiting for the soil to dry up enough for a feeding

They were fungus flies, put out a few yellow sticky strips and looked at them really close, but if they were thrips would I cure that the same as the flies?

With doing the "organic tea" I was reading about no worrying about the pH but now I think I need to be gearing it towards 6.5 because yes the water is a high pH. Almost 8.5!!! I read that your water should be phed at 60ppm.
Definitely think that's also an issue here.
Thanks for helping me learn guys woo
