Please take a look at my diary and tell me why I would have such a low Ca when just a month ago, young leaves were showing high Ca.

Can Boron really have that much of an effect? I am really bummed but it does answer some questions on why my plant has been slower now than it was 1 month ago.

It may have been an easily leaching source that just ran out. Those are cureable problems. Epsom salt (at a local pharmacy) has Mg, and Ca can come up with some of the things that growers soak the fruits with. Both are cheap and can go on foliar. Disolve the salt in a little water first, then put that in the big barrel. I'm not sure the rates to apply. AleX Noel.
