Calcium deficiency?

Hey all! Just started this girl on nutes a few days ago using RO water and thinking I didn't add enough Calmag (requirement with ro water). I only used 1/4 the recommended dose. Is this a calcium deficiency? If so, should I increase to 1/2 the recommended dose of calmag, or shoot for closer to full recommendation? If not a calcium deficiency, what is it?
Edit: this is a recirculating dwc system using hydroton and rw with reverse osmosis water, gh nutes, and gh calmag.

What's the problem? It's not Ca. The leaves look pretty good, just keep adding the calmag, and nutes at recommended dosage, it'll be fine.

The brown spots on the lowest leaf. I'm only at 25% the recommended dose of calmag as another member here advised I start the girls on less than the recommended dose.
 
Calcium deficiency shows in new growth. Don't know why pot growers wait until brown spots show up. Multiple issues by then,they start looking the same. Much easier ways to get through life.

I took a "bathroom break" at work to look up calcium deficiency again quick and yep, you are 100% correct. Thanks man!!
 
OK, it's not a calcium deficiency. Can anyone tell me what the brown spots indicate? They are on the first set of true leaves. The plant is starting to show her 4th set of true leaves.
