Mg usually effects old growth and Ca new growth. N is a possibility too. Ca is hard to diagnose until later stages. N is unlikely as I think your veins are green and the tips aren't more affected. Mg will yellow the outer part of the leaf and leave your veins green. So I'd say Mg.
Before you mess around with your nutrient formulation try raising your pH to 6.2 (do this temporarily to see the response and then adjust to 6.0 after some days or a week) Mg is most available at pH 5.9 and above. If that doesn't solve it you can use a gram per gal of epsom salt
A closer look would help diagnose your issue.

Get a TDS meter. Unknown is not an acceptable answer. How can you feed based on solids, when you don't know what your solids are???
Cali-Magic whips ass on Cal-Mag, but yeah try a TSP in a gallon of your water with no feed and see what she does. Also good wholesome organic molasses at about 6 bucks a container is great to add at a TSP a gallon every few watering/feedings...
