So, I really feel like I've got a deficiency happening here, but can't seem to get an overall consensus on what this issue is and I want to make sure I'm treating the correct issue. I believe ultimately it's a cal/mag issue, but would love to hear what as many of you think on this.
Background info: watering currently about once every 5 days-1 week water 1 week food-I've got an 18-18-21 or 2-2-2 mix at home and was told to stick with the 2-2-2-she's flowering already-the container is about 12" x 12" and the plant is about 16". Earlier on I dealt with some thrips and treated with insecticidal soap, which got rid of the buggers thankfully. Around this time I noticed lower leaves turning yellow and wilting very quickly and moving upwards. Some of my newer growth looks to have brown spots on the tips. So first with the yellowing I was thinking Nitrogen deficiency, which I corrected for, but the leaves on the bottom didn't fall off on their own-actually had to be cut off. The spots made me think nute burn. I've also noticed a few crumpled looking leaves here and there and a bunch of these 4 finger leaves. Some of the leaves are still yellowing, but much slower (is this the resulting damage from before). Last thing I've noticed is some of the stems look a bit purple. I've read up on these issues and for one reason or another cant place the issue-seems like nitrogen def, but a few symptoms are atypical-doesn't seem like a straight cal issue, no bugs, I'm just confused and don't want to hurt her further.
She is ready for a watering tomorrow and would love to know if I should add any cal/mag. Thanks for any tips/opinions.
