First time doing organics and running into my first deficiency, brewing up another compost tea right now but was doing every 3rd water with tea maybe go every other water? Just doing worm castings, liquid seawead and molasses for the tea.20190804_093107.jpgits also starting to do this to a younger plant now but I havent changed what I was doing between the two.

Thats what i was thinking, I have epsom salts here, could i just add some to the next watering? Or should i really go get the cal mag from the hydro shop?

Add in the Ca only if you need it. Soil plus water should have plenty unless you're using RO water. I'd add in 1/2" tsp/gal Epsom salts and once resolved...continue at 1/4 tsp.... that's what I'd do.

Thanks, i will def add it in the next tea/watering tomo and see what happens. I mixed 2 cups into the big bin of soil i have cooking to hopefully stop this from happening again.

Shouldn't you transplant into something? Aren't your roots spiraling right now?

I doubt it's a Mag def. Might be PH or some sort of inconsistency which is what I have happening on my some of my outdoor girls I think, but I always water with a tank of 6.0 PH water with some level of Epsom salt... If it was mag the leaves would be yellow and the veins green.

Might be sulfur even... let you know when I either get a new pain script or my toe heals and I can pick up a couple yards of compost, mix it in a wheel barrow and spread it tahahaha

some of the fan leaves look like yours did but I don't have any completely yellow yet. My plants are much smaller tho, I usually ph my water and teas to around 6.5-6.8. Like 3 waterings ago I forgot to ph the compost tea so maybe that could have been the issue :(
