Use the feeding schedule by your nute company, or use a complete nutrient line. Flowering starts off high on ppm and nutes then backs off and then even less near harvest. Most growers keep high ppms throughout the flowering stage and that is bad, you will burn the @!*&@ out of your buds and end up with trichome leafy buds that are mediocre at best.
Professor: You might need to RTFB! According to Cervantes, Calcium is a macro nutrient and it's as important as any of them because it's necessary to maintain membrane permeability for the active transport of sugars and nitrogen and the maintenance of strong root and cell walls. According to General Hydro's color coded pH level chart available in their pH correction kit, Calcium is taken up between about 3.5 to as high as 9.5. A pretty wide span. What's equally important, without getting into the chemistry I studied in the mid seventies and promptly forgot, is that calcium, like a lot of the other elements, is often necessary for the uptake of other elements.
If you're using a 'complete nutrient line' there shouldn't be a problem. This is why I've stayed with Technaflora's, "Recipe for Success," and I haven't seen any of the problems related to nutes that you read about here and at other forums and I've been using them for about five or six years. Technaflora gives you complete, tested and time proven formulas that go from seed propagation all the way to preharvest, so there's no doubt as to what your plants need or how much to feed them. If you suspect a calcium deficiency I would strongly recommend you have a look at, "MARIJUANA HORTICULTURE," by Cervantes or Rosenthal's book and contact the makers of the nutes you're presently using. The hydro store where you bought them might be of help too. I hope that helps. HSA
