I would have to think your plant used up most of the nutes in that soil. Should have probably went to a larger pot sooner. Don't know if you will be able to save the leaves that are half dead, but new growth should be good as long as you used a decent sized pot.

I got about 4 plants in small containers of foxfarm soil. Some are showing deficiencies while others that I hit with a little fertilizer are doing well. If your going to buy something to test your tap water for PH I suggest getting a digital meter. Only about $15 or $20 bucks, well worth it.

So basically, that soil is not going to support a plant without nutes, not like MG soil with built in nutes.

It's in large enough pot, there's still empty soil with no root growth, and these are small plants.

punk, your soil is not the problem. let your soil dry then just plain water ph'd to 6.3 or so.
ocean forest is a hot soil, it has mixed in ferts.
