Personally, yes.
Can you not just feed it calcium at the root?

Oh, the leaves wont “get better” they just wont get any worse at this point because you’re not growing new leaves.

Personally, i wouldnt use a foliar-feed during flower no.
Someone else might have a different opinion but you risk everything from budrot to just bad tasting weed at this point.

Have you been feeding calcium throughout the grow?
Whats your PH?
Just wondering rather than there being no calcium to uptake, the PH is off

PH seems perfectly fine.
Youve given a dose of calcium now.
Keep an eye on it over a couple days to make sure
But the leaves wont turn green again.
Youll know its fixed because the problem doesn’t worsen.
Usually, you’d tell by new growth, but since you’re now well into flower. You wont be growing many new leaves.

Should I trim off the bad leaves?

Personal choice.
They are still contributing to photosynthesis and the plant can still pull nutrients from them.
If they were completely dry and crisp, I would say yes.
If you do decide to trim them just be careful not to stress the plant.

If using calmag religiously I personally doubt she is deficient there. I lean towards an uptake issue. Are you letting your mix sit for 30-60 minutes before final check? Ph can fluctuate wildly at times and what you thought was stable is actually a point off either way. Foliar for cal-mag I will do. Foliar with organic 3way preventers I will do. Foliar just to foliar I avoid. I would say we look for other than calcium. Better eyes will look and chime in than mine.

You have a good point.
Some of those leaf tips look a little burnt.

You’re possibly a bit hot on the nutrients but we cant know without an EC/PPM reading.

I can see that or ph not going in where we thought. Try the ph adjust by letting the feed sit half an hour then check and adjust. Leaves will stay burnt. We only see fresh growth on the flowers. There is where we will watch now if was my girl. So far into flower, healthy flowers, only so much can be done. As long as they are happy be happy . Mendo hot from day 1. Top dressed nutes so rode it out. My only concern with the mistake was getting her to here. Vibrant healthy flowers.
I actually monitored ph closely with this girl for a few weeks.
