Need help from experts-Ca. Def?

The plant is two weeks from seedlings....been seeing the brown rust spot on my plant for bout a week now but now since it is growing, the spot have been spreading. been reading but want to know a conclusive answer if it is Ca def or what...

If it is Ca def... wat do i have to do help it?

also there is some curling and twisting from the leaves

have couple pictures but it from a camera phone. cannot get my hands on a camera right now....

tried to do a soil ph tester but the color to be turned out to be a neutral 7 but did it with the powder tester...kinda hard to figure it out. Can i get a reliable digital tester at home depot or something?

should i do a flush?

check the underside of leaves for bugs...looks like mite damage from here....

i dont think there are mites

bumppp plz help me

Word dusto.
That's thrip damage.
The larvae hatch out of the dirt and get onto the lowest leaves first... they look like yellowish little splinters.
Pyrethrin or neem or preferably both should help you out.

LoL i got them too!!!

Me three.
My fertilizer guy calls my thrips the 'indestructible thrips that could survive a nuclear blast'.
I told him I was just doing my part to help evolution along and ensure that there would be life on Earth for aeons to come, lol

I see them coming back as the temps sdtart to rise again here on the west side of things. But I hate 'em they leave those little splotches of shiny around.....

damn, thrips and mites. seems like a plague is going around....
