Jorge Cervantes - Marijuana Horticulture:

" Calcium deficiency start with weak stems, very dark green foliage, and exceptionally slow growth. Young leaves are affected, and they show the signs first."

None of them occured, and it started at the middle. Anything else?

regardless of what 'Jorge' says, calcium is a mobile element and will move from leaves to be used where it's needed. So new growth will pull from other more mature leaves for the calcium they need. If the soil is deficient . Lowering pH in your medium will cause cal and mag deficiencies.
try giving them some cal mag

how are you checking your runoff?
You really need to let it sit after watering for an hour, then add a bit more water and test that runoff.

Thanks for the reply hazy! I'm usually cheking the water that runs off immediately after watering, but I'll do it in a way you mentioned. I'll raise the pH first, hope they'll getting better soon. What kind of pH level do you recommend, in runoff water on soil?
