is this a mag deficiency?

It looks like it, however the upper leaves appear OK....Did you add CalMag? Those lower damaged leaves won't correct themselves, so you may as well trim them off...Makes it easier to spot new damage too.

With the age of your plant, it's likely not this damaged from deficiency.

What soil is your plant in, what nutrients have you used, what type of light do you have and at what distance?

I wouldn't remove the dying leaves just yet. When I have an issue with a plant, I leave the unhealthy leaves as a baseline to monitor whether the problem has stopped progressing or not. I'll remove them after I've rectified the situation. Also, magnesium deficiency usually shows yellowing of the leaves before they go necrotic.

For the OP... what's the pH of the water and water/nutrient mix you've been feeding, and in what medium?
