One of my plants started to look like this the other day. I feed them all the same but this one started to get these brown spots :sad:

I started with MG soil... yes I know not to use it anymore, I was also using MG singles to fert them. The problem didn't occur until I stopped using them. I used Green Light All Purpose plant food 20-20-20 with .1% Chelated Fe and .05% Chelated Zn.

I originally thought it was a nute burn but I am now thinking Mg deficiency? I flushed the plant out yesterday...
I'm a beginner and any help would be appreciated!

I used some slow release crap. Supposed to last about 2-3 months. The plant is just over 2 months old. The container is a 3 gallon (maybe 5) they are growing in my backyard, so they just get the sun. I checked the pH and it's close to 7 maybe 6.9(not digital). I mainly use the sprinkler to water them, the water here is hard, but it hasn't caused any problems with any of the other ones growing. I have 4 others growing. All pretty much the exactly the same environment

ok well are the tips of the plants bent up and praying/ if not then nute burn why you ask because everytime you water you add nuts basically..thats how those time released nutes are activated..and your also giving them nutes as well..and you flush which is kinda of a no no with MG unless its been longer than 3 months closer to 4..yes other plants aer in the same environment but some plant may need more and others less

They do appear to be praying... as am I now! It's hot here and I need to water everyday so I took it out of the sun and I guess I'll just ride it out unless you have any better suggestions?

Thanks for all your help too, much appreciated.

So you do think it is a Mg deficiency? Looks like none of the ferts I'm using have Mg in them so it probably is that too. Glad this is my experiment before moving inside... These were all from seed and I don't know if I am going to get any females.

yeah i would say so..you can do it either two ways..foliage or water with epsom salt..prolly a little bit more than what it says since they havent been getting as much..

I just want to make sure it doesn't get any worse. The new growth doesn't show any spots yet. About how much Epsom salt should I use?
