hey im from australia, my plants are about 2months old
i feed them water every 3-4days and im using compound fertilizer (13-5-12), its also got a variety of micro-nutrients and Cal-Mag in it.
the plants seem to have calcium deficiency but my fert should cover that.
i just transplant them into a bigger pot last night.
i have no idea of whats the problem :(

please leave a comment of advice, thank you!
here are some pictures

Calcium deficiency usually shows up in the newer growth first because it is not a mobile nutrient.

It looks like magnesium deficiency. If you are using tap water high in Calcium (hard water) it could lock out magnesium. Too much potassium can do the same thing.

Foliar spraying with Epsom salt and using filtered water (if you aren't) might be a good idea.

haha yeah to reflect the light up
Mate, get rid of that shit fast, it creates hot spots that burn the plant, made the same mistake too, lol. If you want to reflect use flat white paint, enamel or pva, not glossy, flat.

EDIT: Even flat white paper works mate. kinda anyway, hehe

Yeah, that fertiliser may be too strong, can't think of another way to put it, not sure though because I don't really know what it is. I use organic sterilized compost potting soil, seems to work, but for my next grow I reckon it's aero for me, I just think it looks cool, lol.,

I completely agree with what you said, but I am picking up on PH as well. Fix the PH, level out salts and you'll be fine.

thanks for the advice. so can i use ph up from the pet store(aquarium) for my plants ? or ?
I would recommend vinegar and baking soda for a budget pH up/down control

damn, I just don't know, but my gut feeling would say that anything from your pet store has been designed with pets in mind not MJ, but who knows, it may work?

Internet parrot theory that has never been proven. Let's see a picture of a plant burned by aluminum foil. Gonna have a hard time doing that.
