Magnesium deficiency?

Bummer,well you'd think the soil is good for pH.Your water is bottled right?

What about light,I assume you pulled it back?

Im stumped ,fresh dirt should be happy as all get out.
I was kind of hoping the new soil would fix me up....
Unfortunately I switched back to my tap water from the bottled water once I transplanted them. I'm still on the fence for my tap water being the culprit.
My light is 24 inches above canopy @ 50ish%... 480W fixture dimmed to 220W

I've got a big bag of Magnesium Sulfate I can dip into...

Epsom salts in water, mist down a few as and they will green right up. My tap water 450ppm mostly calcium, l add 50 to 75ppm and up to 150ppms Epsom salt to res every watering. Leds make them use more cal so need mag to offset it. Less is always more is a good rule. Can always stop using anytime you want, l buy the big bag! Poor man's calmag! Black Swallow is a few blocks from me. Buy most add ons from them! Ewc etc.
I went for Neem cake and Karanja and left with 3 cu ft of soil and rice hulls instead. Forgot the Karanja. lmao

Start spraying close to lights off with Epsom salts in water ph'd to 6.5-7, also water with 1 tsp per gal of water. All my plants were looking like this until I started using Epsom salts. I use it every watering now or they start looking like this in a week or so

Should be good,for shits and giggles do a paste test on your new dirt.Distilled water make a runny paste let sit and check ph.
6.2ish soil ph
Sprayed with 2 tsp/L epsom, twice... not sure I see any difference as of yet, though. lol

at or near 25° and 64%
The only reason I ask, is whenever my VPD has been incorrect, I’ve had all sorts of issues with nutrient uptake, especially when using LED. My approach is to fix VPD if incorrect, and take it from there. Hope you get it sorted

Not sure what hes trying to say, lol.
I believe they are implying I may have an iron deficiency, but I believe my PH isn't high enough...
I'm dialling in my blumats, and the pot was a little dry... maybe I have an under watering issue?
The other plant seems to be doing well.
I dont think the epsom foliars helped, so...
I think this ones a clone of a bag seed, so I'm fine whether it lives or not, but I wouldn't mind knowing why it dies.
