Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )

First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared. Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.

Week 6

I think your original idea of Calcium was accurate. The damage will not heal it will just stop progressing on new leaves. The old leaves where it already showed damage is likely just necrotising a bit and I think this is normal for that leaf. It should not be appearing on any other new leaves though. If it is, this might be a build up issue. I do think the feed of 1.5EC is a bit high for the plants size, and I hope you are getting some runoff in the feeding/watering process. Double check their suggested rates of what bottle and the amounts then dilute down to a ratio you think is best. I feel 1.2 is ok for the size of this plant. if you can check the runoff EC and PH that may help show whats up, not the first bit that comes out but the mid/end stream. Good Luck!

Also, defoliating can exacerbate an ongoing issue.. you took storage of nutes that may have contained what is missing away from the plant.

also, it takes time for thing to reach a new equilibrium.. it's not just add something and overnight it is fixed... well rarely is it that small of a timeframe. if upping Ca (and hopefully not a one-time addition but continueally feeding more than you did previously) doesn't have a postive effect, you might be locking it out. make sure pH hasn't gone too far below 5.8 and if consult mulder's chart to consider any nutrient lockout potential...
