Calcium deficiency?

Can't see anything with that purple color but I doubt it's a Ca def since it's the lower leaves. My guess would be a Mg def but without a pic in normal lights nobody can tell.

Ok I’ll try too get a better picture tomorrow
Sure thing. If you don't have any calmag yet try and get yourself a bottle soon. It's most likely missing some Magnesium. The structure looks great but I can't see the coloring of the plant.

Tell me what your plans are with the grow. Are you growing organically? What type of media/brand is the plant in? The type of nutes and strength you are at.
Distilled lacks Ca and Mg so using tap will definitely help. It's the start of a Mg def but not serious yet.

I’m growing in natures care organic potting soil with water conserve but I added just as much perlite as soil and peat moss too help it dry faster. Only thing I’ve used so far is blood meal and fish fertilizer. I did add casting worm too the mix as well but not a lot
I use the same but I only cut the MGOS(miracle grow natures care organic potting soil) with 25% perlite and no other moss. You have changed the balance of the soil by adding the moss so the media doesn't buffer properly anymore. You most likely have a slightly more acidic soil but I don't think it' an issue. Just keep that in mind for future use.
I would go with the tap water but I would also grab a hold of some calmag as you may still need it. I typically let the water sit out for 24 hours but it's not necessary as plants use chlorine

Do you use calmag during flower too or just veg cause my plants are flowering

That's really when most grower's need it, during flower. So yes you are OK. Through veg people use it as part of a plant maintenance program.
When you post pics please try and do it with the lights off with a flash or inside a room with normal lighting, if you can. The LEDs add to much purple and it's hard for most to see the plant's health.

Is there a kind of cal mag you recommend I have some maxibloom on the way
Most people tend to go with Cali magic. Maxibloom is a bloom booster and I wouldn't add it until you have the deficiency cleared up.
