I feel like it might be a calcium deficiency or something because this is reused soil that I used. And spotted dots I’m seeing on forums are similar to a calcium deficiency. I bought some Dolomite lime. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice before me topdressibg it 2tbsp/gal.

Fungus/mold or pests imo with info and pics given. I don’t see a Ca def there. What’s the underside look like?
I don’t really see many pests on it other than maybe a couple of weird coloured flies here and there. The underside is clean no eggs from the naked eye. Any ideas on how to deal with it before I lose this big bush ?

It's sooty black mold. It grows on honey dew from aphids. It is not harmful to the plant.
Get yallow sticky traps and use an organic pesticide like spinosad or bt and an alcohol/ water spray from an airless paint sprayer..
