make sure ur ph in the resevoir is 5.6 - 5.8 ish so ur not locking it out. Read the back or google vitalinks nutes, if it has cal mag in it then its a different problem, that looks well into it. You could add some Epson salt for Magnesium but for the calcium u could always go to ur hydro store/internet and get a bottle of calmag. U can also find a 2 part that has it incorporated

get some nutes that you've seen others produce well with. I've use the A.N 3part line a few times, good but pricey, and kinda selling miss-labeled bottles. But try the General Organics, in comparison to the AN line they provide alot more of the triechery elements and at a better price, while being organic.

Unless you are a very experienced grower, I would suggest staying away from organics in a hydro setup. You are just asking for all kinds of issues using them in hydro! I would maybe suggest the General Hydroponics lineup! I just started using the AN series to do some comparison testing to the GH line, and for the first time ever, I had a plant that was crying for a calmag boost! With all the different crap AN has, I was not expecting to see that! Not a good 1st impression so far!
