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.
