Calcium Deficiency

So i'm not really new to the forums, i've been trolling for a while, doing my research, and I started my plant a while ago, but due to some shitty soils and lack of care it didn't really grow.

Now i'm serious about it, my friends and I though are still on a tight budget, but we each have our own personal plants in our apartments. I'm using 2 warm CFL's and 1 cold CFL for my single plant, in my nice big closet w/ a fan, the plants stretched so i'm transplanting it into a bigger pot and burying some of the stem so it'll root and the plant won't get so lanky.

I'm using Miracle Grow (African Blossom or something like that) for soil, says it's for plants that like 6.2-6.8. I fill up a bottle w/ tap water and the right amount of tomato plant food and let it sit for a few days to distill it before feeding, i feed every 2-3 days, depending on soil. Problem I'm seeing is I think I have a calcium deficiency.

Is there anything I can get at a local home depot, lowe's, wal-mart, that can fix this? like i said, just using that miracle grow soil and tomato feed, which basically has all i need EXCEPT the calcium. This is a big stealth grow (since it's on campus) so I just want something I can get at a local store.

Any help is appreciated.

I used M.G.All Purpose Plant Food during veg and for flowering back off to 1/2 recomended amt. and I added wild orchid food by WONDER-LIZER.M.G. (24-8-16)WONDER-LIZER (6-25-25).

wow, that was quick. thanks so much. assuming the all purpose stuff has calcium then? going out to get a new pot now, i'll check.

i'll start posting my grow journal next week once i transplant and get it all picture worthy.

ok, so another update. I've given my plant a bigger pot, and this is the last one, I don't want it getting any bigger than the pot it's in now can handle for stealth reasons. i'm renovating my lil grow closet so the pic u see below is a temp setup for a single plant..... yes, that's under my bed, and sorry for the shitty quality pic, it's from my laptop.

anyways, here's my schedule. I have the 2 24w CFL's, and one daylight tube CFL (not shown) that i put on the plant. I try to water every 3 days, recently put it on a small nute diet (I use MG Tomato Plant Food), and it was doing good. All of a sudden the leaves start turning a lil too dark for me, so I lay off the nutes, and just water it. The leaves are starting to lighten up a bit, but they're still droopy as hell! WTF! I use tap water that i put in a bottle and let it sit for atleast 48hr before using.

Lighting schedule is 18/6. At midnight til sunrise I keep the lil bugger on my window sill (top floor of appartments and the plant looks wimpy anyways, no one can see in) and let it get some good airation and once the sun comes in gets some nice sunlight for a few hours. Once I wake up, it's back to the grow room til midnight.

The reason for how crappy that plant is, is from letting friends take care of it. Friend started the seed in backyard (maryland) soil, which is shitty as all get out, way too clay like. Then my other friend had to take care of it for a week while i moved my shit, and the lights were way too above the light, so it stretched, didn't get it's nutes, blah blah blah. I'm take care of it now, and all those growths you see are from me.

From me: 2 sets of full leaves, another coming in now, and inbetween nodes are showing little leaves, which is nice. All the just stem stuff is starting to sprout new leaves which I guess is correcting their stupidity. But again, the growth has slowed A LOT.

When I transplanted it, I added in a lot of perlite to loosen up the soil and let the roots breath (which they look nice and white and big). Some tiny roots tore off from the bottom when I transplanted, do you think that's why it's looking droopy, like it got shocked, or am I doing something wrong. I assumed it was from overwatering (i checked the soil daily before I would water), so when I transplanted yesterday I haven't watered to try and correct it. Any suggestions would really help.

Yes the plant sucks, I'm working on it.

on campus!? hahah what are you gonna do when it starts to reek up dude?

i woulnt worry too much abuot calcium... just make sure the soil its in is full of good stuff, buy a bag of something at your local gardening store, keep feeding it (switch to using a different kind of food at flowering {NPK low N high PK}) should work out good. damn though you get caught youll get kicked outta college ... good luck!
peace

well for one obviously from the looks of it, it's too early to be like, "Oh snap! that's weed!" and RA's NEVER ever come into the rooms unless it's suspicious. I live on the top floor, and we all know smells rise, I smoke all the time in my room and nothing. As for the smell later on, I'm getting a Febreze Odor Eliminator, someone else on these forums said they use 'em and unless you stick your nose into the grow room you can't smell it.

I just want this to be a nice lil bush, enough for like an oz. or so, just so I don't have to pay for bud since I'm poor. Since I haven't watered in a few days or even after I transplanted, I'm thinking maybe after my midterm ends tonight I'll go ahead and water it w/ just water and check up on it in the morning. I use MG African Violet soil (says for plants that like pH of 6-6.. it's got an NPK of 18-6-12. and the tomato plant food is 18-18-21, so that's REALLLY diluted when I do use it.

For moving it around, I'll post some pics later once I finalize my blueprints (love being an engineer), but it's basically a tiny grow room w/ enough room for a single bushy plant w/ room to grow, 3 lights in it, some vents, fans on vents, all the cords inside the growbox, and wood slates to keep the pot upright and not allow it to fall over.

Nothing tho on the droopiness? I miss my plant looking happy, it looks sad now =(.
