I agree theres much better fertilizer, and Id look into changing ferts.
Yes I would keep giving the Cal/Mag. I would also check PH if you havent. If your fert doesnt have adequate, or any Cal/Mag in it, and Calcium, and Magnesium are ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS, why would you not want to supply it.?
Also do not let your plants get bone dry. When you do this, you concentrate the fertilizer, and then when you water/feed again, all your doing is concentrating the fertilizer, and will burn them up. Never let them get to the point they droop. ANY.
Magnesium is one of seven essential macrominerals. These macrominerals are minerals that people need to consume in relatively large amounts — at least 100 milligrams (mg) per day.
Magnesium is extremely important to both plants, and humans. for one, Magnesium, is an Electrolyte, as is Calcium. Sodium, Potassium.
Magnesium helps in the formation of bones and teeth, regulation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels, helps in muscle recovery, and nerve regulation, and also helps in the formation of various proteins and DNA. It also helps in mood regulation and plays a major role in various metabolic activities in the body.
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body. Its functions include helping with muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and supporting the immune system.
An adult body contains around 25 grams of magnesium 50–60% of which the skeletal system stores. The rest is present in muscle, soft tissues, and bodily fluids.
What is hypomagnesemia?
Hypomagnesemia, also known as magnesium deficiency, happens when you have a lower-than-normal level of magnesium in your blood. It can be mild or severe.
Magnesium is an electrolyte that’s a key part of many bodily reactions that affect cellular function, nerve conduction and more. Your brain, heart and muscles rely heavily on magnesium to do their job.
Magnesium has a direct effect on the balance of other electrolytes, including sodium, calcium and potassium. Hypomagnesemia often happens alongside hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels) and hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels).
It should be noted that while most of your body’s magnesium is stored in your bones, it’s only the magnesium dissolved in extracellular fluid (mostly blood plasma) that’s available for use by cells and organs.
What's the Function of Magnesium (Mg) in Plants?
Magnesium is also a critical macronutrient for plant growth and health. It is a key element of the chlorophyll molecule – essential for photosynthesis.
Magnesium gives leaves their green hue and activates most plant enzymes needed for growth while contributing to protein synthesis.
This is merely the surface of how magnesium benefits your plants. However, it is easy for something to go amiss in your garden if this macronutrient is lacking.
IMHO what you have is more of a Calcium Deficiency, along with a Mg deficiency.
