is it Mg defficit ?

looks like mg deficiency in some of the higher leaves, but nute burn is your biggest worry IMO (tips and lower leaves burning)

I'd flush them for a few days until the new growth is unburnt and then give it a more balanced fert (with trace elements) and a weekly wash of seaweed (which also has trace elements) to promote healthy growth. check under the leaves for tiny eggs as well - as mites will attack a plant that's stressed.

hope they recover

You could try re-potting in clean soil....wait a couple of day's and give nutes again......slowly.....good luck

how shall I do that? When I flushed, I've stupidly took plant yout of pot, used shower to get rid off as much soil and let water run through for couple of minutes and than put in to the pot and filled up with new soil (about half of pot) I thought that is the way to flush. Probably wrong. Thinkig back, I am glad that poor little bastard survived. But mainly, nothing happened. I've used one of those organic mix soils, with bits of all kind of nutes and ph 5.6. And I'am watering with 7ph. And I was suprised by the ammount of roots. ...and I use organic fert.

Get some magical, or anything simmilar. You will still loose a lot of those leaves but it will still be better. Trust me....magical, cal/mag whatever..

you need your water to be at 6.5 ph.....then water with twice the amount of water to soil...so if you got 2gal soil you need 4 gal water for the flush....then continue to water normally after that with water at 6.5ph...then on day 8 hit with ph'd water an cal-mag..then begin feedings the next day at 1/3dose still at ph of 6.5.....peace az
