Calcium deficiency?

Indoor grow
Happy frog 50% perlite 50% around plant
Ocean Forest 50% perlite 50% along sides and bottom
Very bottom layer of perlite
Water whenever pot feels light

I transferred her to a 1gal fabric pot last week.

Is this a calcium deficiency or something else? They are rusty colored dots on the lower leaves and one of the fingers of a top leaves has a dried out wavy look.

Were they getting root bound before the transplant maybe? Doesn't really look like too much to worry about yet to me...

Look hungry. Where did you come up with the soil mix???
Hope it was from someone that really grows.

Google. Do you see a problem with how much perlite I used? People said that Ocean Forest is sometimes too hot for young plants. That's why I put the Happy Frog around the root mass. It will take a little while for the roots to reach the Ocean Forest.

They were not root bound.

Your mix is ridiculous wasting your time and I’m saying that with respect lol all I use and have been doing for a very long time is fox farm ocean forest add a little perlite not this in the side and around the edges bs just mix it in normally along with some dolomite lime to help with ph and water your plants with dechlorinated water ph-d to 6.5-7 this will take you well into flower depending on your pot size and plant size... as soon as your plants start showing deficiencies either transplant into a bigger pot with same soil mix or start adding your nutrients.... BAM EASY AND YOU GET RESULTS

Same question as OP...
This grow has really got away from me in the flowering stage..
Can Anyone Out here help?

Mine is also a bullshit mix but even more BS... of coco soil and perlite... Haha.

I mean in all reality bro I have seen much worse just ride this grow out and start fresh on a new round.... personally what I’m seeing here is calcium related could be some other issues but at this point I’d just ride it out and start over fresh....
TIPS FOR YOUR NEXT RUN
Stick to one medium or the other coco and soil do not mix what so ever plants in coco want a ph of around 5.5-6.0 where as organic soils your ph should be between 6.5-7.0 see where their is problems?
You may be giving your plants all the nutrients they need but they arnt doing shit because your plant can’t take them up do too incorrect ph

To the OP, That soil mix was creative I'll give you that. Like the poster previous to this one mentioned you would be fine with just fox farm and perlite. I would use the happy frog first. As a matter of fact I do. I also use coco and perlite as amendments (lightens the medium for more air pockets and better gas exchange). That being said, you could've waited a little longer before you transplanted that seedling. And I dont know what it was started in (that info could help). But my observation is that it does look a little hungry. I believe it looks that way due to over watering in its previous container. Over watering when a plant is young can flush soluble nutrients right out of the soil. That's why people do it in purpose at the end of flowering. A good thing to do at that time, but not when they are young.
Also, you don't need that perlite in the bottom of fabric pots. Especially with the light medium you are using. Just put it on a couple 2x4's for bottom air flow and drainage if you want. Plus you will probably need to repot it again and that perlite is going to make a mess.

Dont do much and I believe it will get better.
Good luck

I would pour a gypsum, and compost / castings tea through that pot next watering. Use 50gm CaSO4 to the gal, saturate until runoff. You might need a epsom foliar soon afterwards.
