None that I can think of. Just go to your local grow store and pic up some nutes.... It can't be that hard. At the worst, you should be able to find something that should work at any home depot garden center, like miracle grow.. Though I would NEVER recommend it's use. I'm just saying that it's an option if you have no others...

Also, please don't try using TUMS... I really just can NOT see that working. Funny idea, however. LOL!!! :-)

"Cal/Mag" best fix for calcium problem. I add a little to all my R/O water. If you have tap water it will include trace elements of calcium in it.

Whether it's a calcium deficency or a magnesium deficency, I got two words for ya - Dolomite Lime!

It's cheap and redily available.

The organic way is to use egg shells. Wash them, crush them tiny, the smaller the faster they decompose and add to soil. You now have calcium.

well i appreciate everyones replies and willingness too listen to my stupidity ,lol, i finally figured out that its actually a magnesium deficiency, from all the potasium i been feeding it. i guess this causes magnesium lockout which makes sense cus i been using advanced nutrients hammerhead and potasium is really high in this hope this helps people with similar symptoms i got some epsom salts now woo hoo hope it helps
