Thats a bit odd. Magnesium? Or...? You said you are feeding cal-mag but it won't make it into the leaves until you get some hot dry weather.

...Kinda looks like that 6.0 PH soil thing may be an issue? I'd hate to see a little bit of excess soil acidity mess up all your work and money spent. It might actually be more effective to raise the ph a bit rather than to keep adding magnesium. I don't know the best way to do that. I've only ever used wood ash or lime, but there might be other ways. Try to get a second opinion if you can. I don't have all the answers.

I added a substantial amount of Dolomitic lime this spring so that should have bumped my PH up a bit and added some magnesium. I think it'll get better as the soil dries out.
