@Budbrother thanks dude i was really starting to worry that i might have to atart treating for parasites! Legend dude ill show you how it goes over the next few days
Those wonât go away. Pick a few leaves to watch out for more.

@Budbrother Yeah i know that wont go away but even over last night my other set of big fan leaves did the same thing even the tips went brown
Did they curl up or down?
They curled down
RETAKE MY MISS TAKEâŚSORRY ABOUT THAT
Calcium (Ca) -Macro Nutrient and an Immobile element.
Calcium is another important element that helps the plants cell walls,
cell division in
making the plants stems, stalks, branches stronger, as well as
contributing to root growth,
mostly the newer root hairs, Calcium also helps enhancing the
uptake of K in the plants
roots. Calcium moves really slow within the plant and tends to
concentrate in roots and older
growth.
When plants exhibit a Calcium deficiency the younger leaves are
the first to show it as well
as older leaves. The Leaf tips will die back, the tips may curl,
and growth of the plant is
stunted. The plant can show a weakness in the stems and branches,
as well as a under developed
root system that can lead to bacteria problems with roots dieing off.
Having slow plant
transpiration rates can aggravate the uptake of calcium. Make sure your
soil isnât very acidic,
for calcium gets harder to be absorbed through acidic soils, Which leads
to having a plant that
is deficient in Calcium. The leaf tips, edges and new growth will or may
turn a yellow/brown color
that happen in spots and often surrounded by a sharp brown outlined edge
and then the leaf tips die
back. If too much calcium is given at an early stage of growth it can
stunt the growth of your plants.
Having to much of calcium will also flocculate when a concentrated form
is combined with potassium.
The parts affected by a calcium deficiency are the roots. Stem or petiole,
young or old leaves.
Too much Calcium will lead to other micronutrient deficiencies. Calcium
fixation is caused by many
types of mediums such as: clay soils, unbuffered coco and humus. The lime
tends to bond to these
soils very easily. The stems of the plant will not be able to hold the plant
up and will exhibit
a white brown in between the veins of the leaves when having too much calcium.
Also having to much
potassium and or nitrogen will cause a calcium lockout.
Problems with Calcium being locked out by PH troubles
Very acidic soils with excessive potassium, dry and or wet soil.
Lack of calcium in the soil may
cause too acidic soil. This may cause to Mg or Iron deficiency or
very slow stunted growth
Soil
Calcium gets locked out of soil growing at ph levels of 2.0- 6.4
Calcium is absorbed best in soil at a ph level of 6.5-9.1 (Wouldnât
recommend having a ph of over 7.0 in soil)
anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a
Calcium Deficiency.
Hydro and Soil less Mediums
Calcium gets locked out of Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels
of 2.0- 5.3
Calcium is absorbed best in Hydro and Soil less Mediums at ph levels
of 5.4-5.8 (Wouldnât recommend having a
ph over 6.5 in hydro and soil less mediums.) Best range for hydro and
soil less mediums is 5.0 to 6.0.
Anything out of the ranges listed will contribute to a Calcium Deficiency.
Solution to fixing a Calcium deficiency
To fix a calcium deficiency you can treat by foliar feeding with one
teaspoon of dolomite lime or
Garden lime per quart of water, Or Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have
Calcium in them will
fix a Calcium deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients
or it will cause
nutrient burn!)
Or you can take crushed up dolomite lime or garden lime in a gallon of water
and water it in the soil.
1 to 2 teaspoons per gallon of water, which will be slow acting. Garden Gypsum,
which is medium absorption.
Limestone, which is medium absorption, Rock Phosphate and Animal wastes which
are both medium/slow absorption.
Note: Caution when using gypsum to an already acid soil (pH that is less
than 5.5) can have a very bad effect
on different types of plants by effecting the absorption of soil aluminum,
which is poison to plant roots.
Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics, (which is hard
to burn your plants when using organics)
you need to flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much
water as the size of the pot, for
example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10
gallons of water to rinse out the
soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.

Thank you so much for that dude they look exactlythe same as my plantsand i readfurther into it and i have noticed the twisted growing fan leavesand stunted growing, hopefully i can fix the issue in next few days

I donât think you have to flush⌠but ya that will be fine using the Cal-mag.

I canât believe I did that but I have to answer so many iâm bound to make a mistake once in awhile.
But ya I was looking at it and said the same thing and fixed itâŚlol
