Calcium Deficiency

Description:
Calcium is very important to cannabis plant growth. It factors into early root development, nutrient uptake, developing cell walls and membranes, plant transpiration, and strong flowering. An immobile nutrient, the plant will first show symptoms on new growth such as yellowing and deformed leaves. Yellow & Brown spots will begin on the Fan leaves, in severe cases, necrosis will increase & leaves will die out. When calcium is low, the plant becomes susceptible to powdery mildew and pests.
