Looks like you need some cal mag. Have you added any additional cal mag to your feed regimen?
 
CALiMAGic (1-0-0) from General Hydroponics is popular cal-mag additive; and unlike many, is not (over)loaded with N, doesn't contain a lot of calcium nitrate.
 
You did not have enough Calcium in week 1 and week 2. You get enough in week 3. Calcium needs to fall between 80 - 100 mg/L or PPM/L .

Green Leaf derives its calcium from part B. and in 5 gallons of water you need a minimum of 8 g part B.

I am not tootally happy with all these numbers and this is a work in progress.
 
This site is filled with this same question, I know I have asked about it several times. It happens to me regardless of how or how little much calcium and magnesium is in the nutrients. I hope you come back in a week or so and give an update.
 
Thanks for all the help guys! I will definitely be doing more research on plant nutrition as I grow along (pun intended) but hopefully that will get me over the hump. I'll post the results in a few days.
