first time grower, possible zinc deficiency please help identify

Hey guys, I just s started growing a couple weeks ago and the grapefruit plant I got was doing fine, vegged it for bout 4 weeks and on Thursday of last week I put it into flowing. About two days ago I noticed on a couple lower fan leaves a light case of chlorosis on the edges I think its manganese or iron deficiency no curling of the leaves. However on the upper noddes/main colas I first notice some browning of the middle of a top baby leaf a couple days ago and now almost all the new leaves coming out are whitish green spiraling in shape and have chlorosis in the middle off the leaves not really the edges. This whitening is limited to the upper nodes only so far leaves are now drooping :(. Anyone know what might be causing this problem and what exactly this problem is?

I bet that is caused by an off ph-value. What is your PH? - if you didn't test it yet i would start there ;O)
 
Yeah, i'm fairly sure its the ph also but doesnt the foxfarm oceanic soil balance the ph? and even if it doesnt would adding flora nova bloom formula help?

Testing the ph-value would help. You need to know where you are before adding all kinds of stuff.
