They are watered once a day and the soil dries out in between. Im thinking calcium

Once a day watering might actually be part of the problem - tomatoes absorb calcium better with consistent moisture, so try watering deeply every other day instead of daily shallow watering and check out gearscouts.com/power-stations for a timer setup if you need to automate ur watering schedule.
