Mmmmmmm...another case of Ca deficiency symptoms. I am still kinda puzzled by the real source of problem...too high K or something else. Folks over at AB thinks it is high K whereas Tom Barr and Toshi have no experiences with such symptoms even though they went to extreme levels of K (both are very liberal about dosing high traces and have tried it with low GH levels down to 3dGH). I am now doing an experiment to see if its the lack of traces that is causing all this. It will take 3-4 weeks to know the outcome though but meanwhile you can try sticking a calcium carbonate tablet under the plant to see if it helps.
Maybe some of you having the symptoms can provide me with some info on your fert regime. How much K you are adding...how much traces you are adding..tank volume...amount of water change done...weekly or fortnightly.
