    Calcium deficiency won't go away?

    Oops, forgot that LED lights also have a weird color spectrum ... Here are 3 pictures (under just fluoros) of leaves in 3 stages. The first one's a bit blurry, but shows only a few spots on a relatively new leaf. The next two are older leaves that have progressed.

    Calcium deficiency won't go away?

    Hi all, I'm in the middle of my first grow, and like many others, I thought I had it all figured out, but can't seem to get to the bottom of one problem ... I have what appears to be a calcium deficiency, but it won't seem to go away, regardless of what I try to do. Here's what my setup looks...
