overall your plants look good. give us a bit of run down what your soil and nutrients are that you are using. I don't think it's a calcium problem, but i could be wrong.

Maybe a little nute burn? My first grow ever, I overfed my plants and they started curling and had burned edges like that. But I could be wrong...

Welcome to the gang, what levels are you feeding the nutrients and how often?

i like promix hp and i use it as well. Great soil. however, i don't use your nutrients. so its hard for me to say what to add oro not to add., perhaps another member can shine a light on it.
have a read at Plant Abuse Chart and match your leaves with the pictures and you'll see its not calcium.

So by "Aggressive Veg Growth", do you mean hot doses of nutes? If so, that's never a good idea. You can't force your plants to grow any faster by feeding them more nutes.
Patience is an essential part of growing Cannabis and just giving them hot doses of nutes will not make your plants grow any faster, it'll wind up killing them. Nute lock is a very common issue for new growers who get impatient and try making the process go faster.
I was guilty of that myself on my first grow, same scenario, they were doing fine until they weren't. That leaf curling and burned edges screams nute lock to me.
I'd say you should probably start flushing them with plain water for a while and see if they start bouncing back, after that back off on the ratio of nutes you feed them.
Can someone else weigh in and tell us if they're seeing the same thing I am please? I don't want to give bad advice if I'm wrong.

i would suggust to read Plant Abuse Chart
NUTRIENT PROBLEMS
Root Stunting:
Root stunting is characteristic of calcium deficiency, acidity, aluminum toxicity, and copper toxicity. Some species may also show it when boron deficient. The shortened roots become thickened, the laterals become stubby, peg-like, and the whole system often discolours, brown or grey.
Over Watering:
The plants in figure 5 were on a continuous drip system, where nutrient solution is constantly being pumped into the medium. This tends to keep the entire root system completely saturated. A better way would be to periodically feed the plants, say for 1/2 hour every 2-3 hours. This would give the roots a chance to get needed air to them, and prevent root rot and other problems.

I've just been following the feeding chart on the bottle I haven't been giving it anything extra just following the 3.2.1 ratio

The recipes on the bottle are typically always formulated under “perfect” growing conditions. Which for the hobby grower is a daunting task to replicate. Typically the rule of thumb is to start at 25% recommended feeding, wait for the leafs to show signs of yellowing (nitrogen deficient aka hungry)
Then bump up to 50% and repeat process until they stop yellowing.
Then if leaf tips begin to burn or crumble(like yours) that’s your sign to back down the nutes. No 2 plants ever eat the same, most of the gardening experience is dialing in your grow to best suit the plants that are currently inside, a lot of us will run the same strain over and over until we feel we have maxed out its potential to the fullest.
Ok, time for a bong rip

Welcome to the club! To me it looks like hot soil and too often of watering. Emilya has a really good thread for properly watering. I myself had troubles until I read her thread, haven’t had an issue yet! I use this picture to help me diagnose as well
