Does your potting soil have nutes in it already? First thing to do is get to the store and buy yourself a $25-$30 test kit for PH/N-P-K. If you are having a problem, the last thing you want to do is start throwing ferts at it. Take some soil readings and you'll have a better idea what's wrong with your plant. Could just be that your PH is fucked. There might be plenty of ferts in the soil, but it's not available to the plant. Test first, diagnose the problem, then fix the problem.

I never stated that at all. I said it "could be" Ph locking something out. Could also be too much of one thing causing other things to get locked out. The chart you put up says it could be "any" host of different things wrong. I will tell you this and then I'm out. I may be wrong, and I hope I am for your plants sake, but I would bet that if you just start adding nutes right now, without figuring out what the problem is first, it will get worse. You might get lucky and the plant might respond the way you want it to after adding nutes, but if you're wrong, and it's not nute deficient, with soil it will take days before you see what harm has been done, and that's when things really start to head south on ya, and quick. Just trying to tell you from personal experience, I've fucked plants up that way myself. So, I told you what I think you should do, if you choose to go a different route, I sincerely wish you luck. Hopefully your luck will be better than mine was. Also, you never answered the question whether your soil is pre-nuted or not? Because if you used pre-nuted soil, that shit will feed your plant for like three months, and in that case there's no way it's a nute deficiency.
