i have no idea why my plant started to get worse again after it started getting better when I didn’t do anything different , my guess is it’s hungry for magnesium so dollar fed lastnight and made zero difference over night.

Plants had a rough life and more so bad couple of months it went from this before transplant

And then to this after transplant ( my first thought was shock but people suggested overwatering and after 2 weeks of it taking to dry out and no improvement and zinc deficiency I flushed with 6.5 PH and was coming out at 5

After the flush she started to recover after a week got her back to this

Now for some reason checked on her 2 mornings ago and hadn’t had fed her or watered since the flush and she was looking like this

To me looks like overwatering with a mag deficiency but I’ve ruled out overwatering because I haven’t watered her since and I can tell there’s still enough moister to not be underwatered.

I’m using organic soil and per light mix amended with egg shells and last feeding of teaspoon of Epsom salt and some Australian Yates thrive half strength when I did the flush and then those next few days she started looking healthy again then bang woke up to this.

I’m growing indoors in a storeroom outside with 600watt led mars hydro(258tryewatt) and some shit Philizon 600watt108truewatt light)

I’ve never grown indoors and is only my second time growing , I’ve done so much research on this shit and have no idea what’s gone wrong now , with the old LEDs they say u need more calmag but shouldn’t have gone to that overnight right ?

I ran into a few problems on my grow outdoors last year but not continuous deficiency’s like this. What step should
I take from here I’m gonna foliar Epsom every 3 days till improvement is all I can find or do you think something else is up ? Could the PH of the soil dropped again without doing anything to it ? Please help because I want to flip her to flower asap but need her healthy first

Be careful that you are not under watering (image 2) ,in that image especially it looks like under watering.To cross out the possibility that it is under watering start watering more regularly, but keep a visual diary of the results to help determine if it has recovered.The change of watering schedule(increased watering) (generally the plant should perk up after 2 days). If not then it can quiet possibly be a mag deficiency and possibly but less likely an excess of nitrogen that's causing a droop in the leaves.What is the EC and are you maintaining a constant PH value through out the grow?

Thanks for the reply mate , second image is when I transplanted it and I gave it a drench and came to the forums for help and a few guys helped me out and said it was overwatered but as I mentioned it didn’t bounce back after 2 weeks so tried a flush and was PHing my water at 6.5 and it was coming out at 5 so there must of been a PH issue and transplant shock and I only flushed because it started developing a zinc deficiency at that point so after my flush I used half strength Yates thrive and teaspoon Epsom salt and most of it run off the bottom anyways but everything worked out perfect and started to bounce back nicely in that second last image and then hadn’t watered or fed since because looked like tiny bit of yellow tips after the flush my guess nutes were strong enough because looked like tiny bit of overfed and so yesterday morning I went to see how it was going because on Sunday looked like the second last pic and looked to be improving fast then on Monday it looks like the last pic , it’s a pretty large container and still has moister in it so really didn’t want to try water again and over water.

I don’t use a EC meter only grown once last year outdoors and didn’t have a problem with feedings and checking EC.

I keep getting the mag deficiency with the LED (first time using) I didn’t have this issue last year outdoors but could it get that bad overnight if she was that hungry for magnesium.

I’m out of ideas from everything I’ve looked into , all I can think of left is that I’m running my LEDs 24/0 do you think that could be causing it too mind you there’s hardly any heat and 2 feet above canopy ? Or should I be foliar feeding mag regulary with a LED indoor grow
