I flushed my plants a week ago and today I have a major calcium deficiency with 1 week to go. This is my first grow so my question is do I do anything to help it or let it go and finish out the last week as is.
then there is your problem ...using plain water screws up the cation ratio to cannabis , essentially zeroing out everything, putting some elements below you want....ALWAYS from here on out when correcting a nutrients problem OR final flushing use 1/4 strength nutes. Doing it with 1/4 strength. makes the cation ratio go down ..BUT stop at 25% ...it also forces the plant to use what's there making the taste and burn ability to the weed the best it can be. I do a week at 1/4 strength. then 3 days at 1/10 Strength....then chop.....no water needed a the end.because with any luck the plant will have used the little bit that's in the 1/10 Strength solution...leaving ... just water ...and that is what a good flush does.

Ok thank you so do you suggest I do a little dose of cal-mag or a very light feeding or nothing? Also how much flushing with the 25% nutes 1 gallon 2,3 etc.
how big are the pots? LIGHT FEEDING is always better than only water ...water drops the cation ratios to zero ..creating more imbalance ...1/4 strength drops all the ratios back ...BUT they stop at 25 percent ...correcting all deficiencies..AND when it's time to flush..use 1/4 (2 times the size of the pot) (3 for a deficiency) 2 for flushing to get started ...then usually 1 gallon of 25% a day then like 3 days before chop time go-to like 1/10 Strength....if you did it right the plant will use up all of the food in the last 1/10 Strength solution..leaving...only water ..and that's what brings the real flavor out.... In fact the only time I use plain water is only to germinate seeds and for the 14 day seedling period...then feeding begins until I get to the 1/10 Strength solution. good luck keep us posted.
