| Re: Can you tell me if this is a calcium deficiency?
it could be calcium, id really check the pH - really important. If the pH is off it could be locking something out.
what nutrients are you using?
I had a similar problem and my leafs looked like nothing i had seen before. It resembled a micro-nutrient deficiency but a lot of times it is hard to tell just what one it is, and a lot of times its several if the pH is off.
It also could be a salt build up, if you have never flushed before , i would at least once a month with 3x the amount of water that your container size is.
my pH was fine and my problem starting get worse, i flushed it with pure RO water, then gave it a complete 1/4 strength fert (make sure your ferts are complete with all the elements needed)
also i have found the hard way tap water is bad (at least most places) clorine will kill, also there can be an excessive amount of calcium along with a f'ed up pH..
tap water can also have a high ppm and then added with ferts it can be to much for the plant.
if your not already, switch to Ro water, flush it, give it verrry light nutrients, and wait 2-5 days to dry out and see if it looks any better, if the pH is good (cant stress this enough you have to get your pH 6.3-6.8 for soil or elements will not be able to be absorbed, pH!, pH!, pH!) and the plant still progresses to be sick, you most likly have a deficiency.
