These are some tomatoes leaves from my Aquaponics. Does this look like a calcium deficiency?

Boy do I feel stupid. Now everything I am reading points to a potassium issue... |

Don't, it takes a while to get the hang of it and FWIW you really have to be able to see the whole plant so just from your initial pic, I couldn't tell for sure. You'll figure a lot of it by knowing which nutrients are mobile and which ones aren't - go from there to begin with. Cheers |

Calcium deficiency shows up as blossom end rot, where the outer end of the tomato has a dead area. |

When posting pics of a suspected nutrient deficiency it's best to post a couple of close up pics of the affected leaves, but also a pic of the entire plant, so we can see where on the plant the deficiency is occurring. As Scotty alluded to, deficiencies of mobile and immobile nutrients will show up on different parts of the plant, so knowing where on the plant the symptoms are will help with diagnosing the problem. Whereabouts on your plants are the affected leaves? |

Whereabouts on your plants are the affected leaves? It's looking more like potassium to me now.  Here is the plant. I keep them well trimmed.  Closer to the plant showing mid growth leaves.  Closer up.  No apparent issues on fruit. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk |
