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

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...
