a couple of days ago my plants started curling up like a taco. Now they are starting to get kind of brown I between veins. I think it's probably magnesium. But what do you guys think? Any help is appreciated.

Heres a pic, I unfolded one leaf so you can see the color. Also the white is water droplets from foliar spray.

I've been using tap water and have been letting it sit out between waterings. My last watering I forgot to set some water out during the previous watering so that could have effected the ph a bit maybe? :/

no your burning the plant and the ph is off.. in no way shape or form are you having deficiency.

also i can see oxygen issues... are you oxygenating your water at all with a air stone? it doesnt look like it

I'm not using an air stone....What would you suggest I do phil?
well the oxygen isn't the only issues... you can see chemical burns and ph burn... so are you PH balancing your water first off? if so what are you using to read your ph

in the oxygen case i would go get a fish tank air pump with a air stone and pump air into the water while you let it sit out overnight.. it will oxygenate it.... theres ways to supplement but the best way is natural air.

I live in the mountains, my water comes out between 6-7. I use the fox farm trio, and batch 64 moon shine soil. Thought it was cal mag so i did a quarter feed of everything last night with some cal mag. I use ph test strips to test PH....Thanks for your help man I appreciate it.

next your feeding schedule should only be fed one time a week on soil... so eek one say is 1ml per gallon mix that up feed it on monday... then let the soil dry out tuesday hopefully wednesday its dry enough to do a light PH balanced water ONLY NO CHEMICAL feed.... then let it dy thursday water with plain water again friday ..... saturday and sunday let it completely dry out then do your next feed on the following monday... you repute that weekly.. NEVER should you be adding chemicals to every water.. you plant needs clean water

thats definitely an issue i mean first you shouldn't be using a soil that contains nutrients and then also be feeding nutrients to the plants your frying them.. you should be in a promix or something if your feeding chemicals.... or if your using a soil with nutrients in it you should be feeding water till the nutrients are fairly depleted or your plant is properly matured and can handle strong feeds. the other issue is your ph strips...i mean you can get your ph from strips but your not on point.. personally i would get a descent ph meter especially if your mixing chemicals.... it looks like your feeding acidic water to them constantly .. and your not letting it dry properly.. but you need to slow on the feeding ... i would let the soil completely dry out.. bone dry... feed water nothing else but oxygenated water for the next week then get back on to feeding properly

also stop feeding the cal mag .. your plant isn't even old enough to be using more calcium and magnesium than whats in the FF feed

The only thing I add every water is molasses, and that is kind of on and off. I usually feed every 6-8 days kind of like (feed monday, water wed or thurs depending on dryness, feed saturday/sunday depending on dryness) But I will give clean water for a week and feed as normal. This plant is almost two months old man. The soil its in is supposed to feed for about 4-6 weeks, hence why I am nuting now, this is the soil i am using http://batch64.com/products/moonshine/

they still aren't having the definceny .. molasses still carries a charge its not a sugar only

so how often in that 6-8 day time period are you feeding water? with nothing in it no molasses just water you would actually drink yourself?

also how dry is your soil getting in-between waters? are you letting it get almost bone dry before you re-water? or is the soil still visibly moist when you water?
