Day 65, just come back and one of them looks bad. Those leaves covered with yellow stains. I have to figure out what's wrong with it. The other 2 is just ok.

The plants are near the end of their cycle (life) and the needs are changing to the extent that they are beginning to cannibalize low priority leaves to stabilize themselves systemically. In short, what you're seeing is natural. The nitrates in the soil are nearly depleated and the calcium is not being uptaken to an ideal extent as the result, but I wouldn't fret too much. What do the trichomes look like in ratio of clear:cloudy? Your bump in calmag will definitely help slow the spread of more damage, but the damage already done will not become better. That's fine though. Leaves are multi-purposed, they not only collect energy, but then store it for later consumption if need be, just like our bodies do with fat and muscle.
Go to your local garden center and ask about "benefical bacteria" to see what they have.
BB is needed more in soil as it regulates the PH, keeps roots cleaned of excess exudates and also liberates ions (plant food) from the media. I assume (but don't yet know for certain) that all soil has bacteria to at least a minimal extent, but there are certain strains of bacteria that we try to work into the soil to improve the relationship the plants have with the soil. Ask if they have "Earth Worm Castings". Also, can you order things from the USA?
Local shop doesn't sell anything related to "beneficial bacteria", they did not have "earth worm castings" too, but they do sell goat shit. In fact, most of the shopkeeper doesn't even know PH matters for plant. I can order things from USA, but not liquid for sure.
All 3 plants been harvested, i got total 83g dried buds and 1 full jar of sugar leaves. Tried them on vaporizer, got guava fruit like smells, and the effect last much longer than my first harvest.
Thanks for all the help guys, although I got better harvest, but i believe there's rooms for improvement.
It's part science and part feel to identify when is the perfect harvest time, but also everything leading up to the harvest influences the result as well. If you can create a 2nd grow space with air filtration as well, you can start a perpetual grow that will not only produce a very steady supply of herbs, but also allow you to perform the duties of each stage of growth about every 2 weeks which will allow you to hone your growing skills faster. I harvest a plant every 3 weeks about, and soon that will be tripled to about one every week, so I will need to juggle well, but also it helps me keep fresh with all that is involved which further helps me learn things faster, test new ideas and feeds etc etc etc, and the byproduct for all that learning and fun is a lot of buds, lol.
If you have a 2nd area, you can have a dedicated veg for 18/6 lights and ddicated bloom for 12/12 lights. With timed cloning, you can produce a copy of a plant in 2 weeks time, veg it for 3 weeks, then put it in bloom, then repeat.
Glad you are well Grower!
