I've heard other growers say that giving plants calcium at the end keeps them from finishing properly. Is this true?
It's hard to just cut off calcium in soil -- or even promix for that matter. Anything buffered with lime has calcium.
Lately I've been experimenting with calcined clay (kitty litter) and peat moss. Clay is alkaline & peat is acidic, so the combination should be close to neutral. I've been using this combo with young plants and they seem to like it. Not sure if I'll stick with it for the final repot or just go with straight promix HP.
What do you think?

I understand Lots of cat litters use bentonite how are you sure you get calcined clay?

Might be nitrogen deficiency

If that were N deficiency there'd be a more smooth fade of yellow at the bottoms to healthy green at the top. Especially with the bottoms br ing that yellow. This localized yellowing, especially with the necrotic spots that are starting to develope, are classic signs of cal/mag deficiency.
