Does this look and sound familiar:
get this info at http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 check to see if you agree

Solution to fixing a Calcium deficiency
To fix a calcium deficiency you can treat by foliar feeding with one teaspoon of dolomite lime or Garden lime per quart of water, Or Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have Calcium in them will fix a Calcium deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients or it will cause nutrient burn!)
Or you can take crushed up dolomite lime or garden lime in a gallon of water and water it in the soil. 1 to 2 teaspoons per gallon of water, which will be slow acting. Garden Gypsum, which is medium absorption. Limestone, which is medium absorption, Rock Phosphate and Animal wastes which are both medium/slow absorption. Note: Caution when using gypsum to an already acid soil (pH that is less than 5.5) can have a very bad effect on different types of plants by effecting the absorption of soil aluminum, which is poison to plant roots.


Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics, (which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) you need to flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.




Pictures 1-2 shows calcium deficiencies. First one shows late, 2nd one shows early development.

I've found that treating a ca problem with more then just ca may cause other problems

Hi again guys..

So I went to the grow shop today, and I picked up some dolomite. Really hope it helps, its my first mother so i really hope I can save her.. I just took half a teaspoon, and poured it equaly on the soil, and watered with ph'ed downed water with a light solution..

Edit: Should I remove damaged leafs?.

Or will she produce weak clone because of the def stress?..

Thanks again..

I doubt ca will translocate to leaves already deficient in ca. It may take several weeks for you to see normal new growth.

You're also giving them way too much nutes for how small/young they are.

I only use 1/2 of direction.. 0.9 ml pr. L of AN grow A+B, and 0.6 ml pr L Sensical.. And I watered with just PH downed water once a week.. Is this to much??.

Hi warlocker.. thanks for joining.. Been spraying a little, should be strange if this is the course of my problems.. Could be overfeeding/nute build up.. After I started flushing it getting better. I will start giving her a little less.. thanks again..

Edit: And it could be lightburn aswell, but the other plants doing just fine.. But I had the same thought and turn my light down to min..
