2 plant issues.

I have 2 plant problems that I'm looking to confirm. The first 2 pics are of a Top44 bonsai all organic.. MG Organic w/ FoxFarm nutes. The leaf is brown / purple-ish and droopier than the others.The second plant is a Citral bonsai, all organic the same way. These plants got hosed, then went a week without watering (vaca) and have all seemed to bounce back nicely until now.

I'm guessing calcium deficiency on the first one, since this plant is VERY thirsty and has gotten a lot of P. The plant in the second 2 photos was hosed and left as a little more than a seedling and got fed quite a bit of veg. formula in 12/12. The worse leaf is kind of crispy and the burn / stain is almost a copper color.

Thanks to anyone, in advance. I'm a n00b, but have come a long way and would hate to see an issue like this get too bad.

Unfortunately, big pot is not an option. I'm a self sustaining PC grower. It's all I can do for now, since it blends in w/ my job. Generally, flushing is filling them up and tipping them over to drain fast. I'm just trying to get an idea of what this might be so I'm not bouncing all over with treatments.

Thanks, btw. Most people do the whole 'what'll you get from that, an eighth? I'm thinking a quarter out of the first and a half on the second.

Actually, that's the leaves cupping. I inverted the cups gently with my thumb and forefinger. Also, the bigger nug of the 2, the soil is bone dry most of the time. That 'droopy' leaf is not actually droopy. It's kind of folded from the side of the pc case.

Hmm. was hoping I'd find some help on this one. Maybe I should post in advanced or n00b forums..

hey man check this out http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 hope it helps. plant 1 looks like a molybdenum deficiency.
Wow! That was a seriously helpful thread. I think you could be right on that and I'll be flushing tonight. This plant hasn't had a flush yet. Also, I think the 2nd one is light burn / heat stress. That plant was VERY close to the single 5500 that I have in my flowering chamber. I think I'll swap that thing for another 2700.

So the purple leaf.. It's starting to spread up a little bit and I had a thought when I looked at my plants this morning.. could this be typical Indica purpling? The temp was about 70, Farenheit in there this morning and it's usually pretty cool in there. The leaf doesn't feel any different, either.

k3nz1387 - I flushed for molybdenum deficiency, just in case. Thanks for the link, man.
