How much and how often are you feeding them? Are you in coco?

Could be broad or russet mites. You can't see them with the naked eye but the make the leaves blistery and shiny.

You could also use a whole lot more hydroton to cover up that coco before fungus gnats become your next issue.

do they list the % amounts for calcium and magnesium and iron for each bottle?
and which bottle has the micro nutes in it? the A or B
thatll tell us if you need calmag or magnesium......
if your plants ask for calcium use calmag
if your plants ask for magnesium use Epsom
calmag has magnesium in it but its more calcium that anything and second its N.. it doesn't actually have that much magnesium in it
look at the bottle %, its likely;
2% N
3.2% Ca
1.2% magnesium
with magnesium being the least of whats in it

theres another reason I don't like this brand
you can see from the derived from ingredient that it has magnesium in both part A and part B but they don't list how much as a %
theres already plenty of calcium in the base nutes
you don't need any calmag at all so stop using it
add 1/4 tsp Epsom salt per gallon every time you fertilize
spray them 1x with 1/2 tsp per gallon Epsom salt
