Calcium Deficency???

Hello all, i'm back with another question for ya. Im in week 5 of flower and have started to notice the brown spots and yellowing on the lower fan leaves. At the time i chalked it up to the plant doin some maintance by killin off the large suckers that weren't producing enough sugars etc. Well i trimmed off most of those trouble leaves and the spots/yellowing are showing up on the newer growth up top. Now i have done some extensive research on this issue and everything i find points towards a calcium deficency. So i headed down to the hydro store and picked up some cal-mag. been treating her for about a week and have not noticed any improvements. Am i bein too impatient? Or am i on the wrong track? Heres some pics, thx dudes!!!:jointsmile: Let me know if u need more info.:smokin:

Guys that are going to try to help you need more info, what you using up to this point?

RO water?
Tap water?
Any nutes used to this point?
What's your PH?
etc...

Give some more info and someone should jump in.

and what dose of Calmag you using?? I would lean towards Mag def but Calmag should help that also. You do know that whatever is damaged leaf wise isnt going to turn around and be green again. If the spread has stopped (meaning not gotten worst) or better yet any signs of improvement then you are on the right track.

I'm using tap water that i let sit out for a few days. PH sits around 5.2-5.5.
I'm using Botanicare Pro Bloom, and Liquid Karma at 3/4 strength. As for the Cal-Mag, im using that at 1/2 strength. Tiny, i know the damaged leaves wont come back to green. but it definately seems to be spreading. Last night i noticed the leaves are beginning to droop a bit as well. I'm so confused as to why this is happening, the plant has been happy as a clam since it was cloned.

PH would be better between 5.5-6.0. 5.2 is pretty low and very well might be the issue

I'll try that for sure. Thx man.

Ballsack.:rastasmoke:

That helps alot, thx fuck head!

I had the same problem I was in DWC so I am not sure if it will help out. I kept my ph at around 6.0 and it started spreading. I went and purchased some cal-mag and mixed 1tsp in a gallon of phd water and used it in a spray bottle and sprayed them about 4 to 5 times a day and then added 1tsp per gallon of water to my res two days later they are fine.
