Heres something else that may help you diagnose nurtient deficiencies.
By determining where a deficiency is located you can figure out if the lacking nutrient is mobile or immobile. Once you know this, look at a table that shows nutrient mobility in plants. You can look at a deficiency chart of pot leaves to help the diagnosis. Problems on new growth is usually from a immoblie element. Old growth and fan leaves are more akin to mobile elements
So, if your plant has older leaves that are turning pale and starting to crackle at the tips you may have a Potassium (a mobile element) deficiency. It isnt Calcium because Ca is immobile. Calcium is the single most misdiagnosed deficiency we have especially in hydro where it happens all the time. Interesting fact. If you have a legitimate Ca deficiency. The problem has been in your plant for weeks already.
Find the mobility. Look at each symptom for each plant in the mobility that suits your plant. There will be a closest fit. Treat for those symptoms
A lot of times the problem isnt very apparent. Use the closest fit. If you can't decide treat for multiple problems. Watch out for too much nutrient for the fix... toxicity from things like Nitrogen isnt better believe me.
Its kind of a hard topic to get across on a 3x2.5 keyboard. If you have questions let me know

To the left, now that I have the wall completely clear, I'm going to mount PVC racks to hold my RC aircraft so I can enjoy them more with less hassle into the car. That wall is finally going to come together.
