Last two weeks Ca def

Is it too late to treat a ca deficiency? Some of the upper most leaves have tons of brown spots on them with chlorosis. How much is this a factor in overall yeild? Am I out of luck?

It's normal for a plant to self-cannibalize during the last couple of weeks of flowering. This usually manifests as nitrogen deficiency, but other deficiencies are possible too.

You really don't want to increase the nutes or add any suppliments this late in the game since it can negatively affect the taste of your finished product. If anything, a lot of growers like to start flushing their plants at this point of the grow.
