No expert on Aeroponics, but if you are using the nutrients as intended I doubt you are having a problem with deficiencies.

Perhaps it's too much Cal/mag.

Is it possible you are starving the plants a little? I have never used your brand, but it seems like it's on the low side of the scale as you are mixing it. Depends on the type of weed you are growing. Some like much more food.
My most sensitive Sativa gets .6 EC which is roughly what you are using/ with no added cal/mag.
