Yes you need to supplement calmag with tapwater that clean. I run canna ab with ro mixed with tap to reach .4 ec. Without the added calmag i get deficiencies too.

Congrats on having tapwater that clean tho.

Any brand of calmag do? And at every water/feed ?

Yes any brand will do. You could also try hitting them with a 1/4 tsp of epsom salt pr gal. A light foliar with epsom salt should green em up too. Just dont over do it.
