The only issue I've ever had is the weight of the water. Seemed that every year with my outdoor photos we'd get a heavy rain right before harvest and the weight would break some stems. Foliar is faster acting and often the best way to attack a deficiency quickly as it's immediately absorbed and doesn't have to go through the plant's root system.
If you don't want to do a foliar, do as b0b suggested. The epsom salts and molasses with provide cal/mag, just not as quickly. Good you spotted it early. Please put up the new pics when you can. I'd like to see how it looks in natural light. Make sure to include some of the whole plant, as well as the close up.
On the email notifications, are you sending them to your phone?

While I differ on this one I can say adding cal-mag is a non-toxic thing so if your wrong the cal-mag will not make thing worse. Mag deficient will show bright yellow on the lowest leaves and bright green on new growth. Phos will yellow in new growth. I'm running 10cc Cal-Mag/gal soil less-I get this similar problem and add Phos it get's better---just saying and the worst I ever saw are these White Widow strains---I could use some help too. I'm inching up my ph right now to improve absorption as I'm 25% over the top on Phos and nitro but Audry Junior just keeps saying feed me I want more--and it helps a lot .
I would keep my plant in the dark until I got the ammendment ( any amendment that is saving a dyeing plant) if it's slipping fast.

P deficiency
Calcium deficiency
When you compare these to Roy's he only has the beginnings of the spotting. His leaf tips and edges are still green. While a mag deficiency can sometimes be mistaken for a P, I think it's pretty clear he's dealing with a calcium issue. I've also seen some strains show a P deficiency in early flowering. For that I keep a bottle of PK13.14 on hand.
Those are two things I usually recommend to new growers to get, cal/mag and PK13.14. Since those are the two most common deficiencies it's better to have them so they can respond quickly should something develop, rather than having to place an order or run around looking. Of course there are other things that can be used but I find those recommendations the easiest for new and inexperienced growers.
In my case leaves curl down at edges then all of the leaf and they also become wrinkled,in the end edges damage and may die leaves hook. But it's pailing to yellow new growth and then down cupping of tips and edges I'd photo but I'm off to another client right now. Help would be appreciated. More P helps-more N helps and now up the ph helps still I'm way behind the curve gotta go!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery my friend!!
