Hi peeps, just wondering if you all could take a look at the pic i posted. Thinking it may be cal deficient but want to be sure.Sorry, i forgot to say it's DWC and plant are 2.5 weeks old.7 out of 8 plants are the same started at bottom leaves and moving up to new growth. Plants are still growing apart from this.:)Thanks for any help :)IMG_20170305_233412.jpg IMG_20170305_233412.jpg IMG_20170305_233412.jpg IMG_20170305_233412.jpg IMG_20170305_233412.jpg

Help these folks help you! The more info you give up front, the better these experienced growers can decipher what's going on.

What's your grow environment like? Nutes? Medium? Light? Water/feed schedule? ph?

Can you post a pic of the whole plant?

It looks like a Cal def to me but I'm far from an expert.

Hard to tell with out better photos but it looks LIKE a cal Def to me, if all plants are getting the same problem and your running dwc i would flush the whole system with drip clean just to get rid of any build up you may have in lines or your rez

looks like calcium deficiency... if ur running distilled water and less than 140-150 ppm chances are your lacking dissolved calcium..

also check ur ph if it's outside of 6.1-6.5

Have you checked them for bugs? Thirps cause similar looking damage. The sporadic white dots are an indicator. Some leaves will be effected others remain unharmed. They don't really slow the plant down. Makes it look like hell, though.

I'd offer the advice of taking a jewellers loupe and inspecting under the damaged leaves. Inspect the stem also. Rule out bugs before messing around the nutrients.
