What do you guys think? Is it a magnesium deficiency? Small plant my brother just gave me because it wasn’t doing so good, so I said I’d take it. It was grown in M3 in a solo cup. I just transplanted it today. I tried Mr. Canucks mix. I can’t get Gaia green soil so I used Botana care organics. A few tablespoons of Gaia green 444 some worm castings and mykos and a little dolomite lime. A day or two ago I watered it with a little Alaska fish fertilizer, and Cal Mag.

Mg deficiency in the soil as if you’re giving it only RO?
It looks like a plant that needs to be acclimated into soft wet soil with low organics until the roots take over and make a biosphere. Where is 2 table spoons plus all that gonna go if those are 2x4 thats a small pot.
Give it tap, keep soil below 80f and moist and give it time to grow roots to break down all those amendments you gave it

Give it a week or two if you have already fed it. Mine showed the same symptoms after transplant that went away on leaving them alone for a couple of days.

On the chance you might be in Sothern Ontario and are in driving distance of Brantford, you might want to check out Black Swallow Living Soils.
They sell a KIS mix organic soil that is Tony the Tiger great!
Not cheap but they also sell reamendment packs to recycle the soil.

I give it bottled water or even rainwater and I make sure the pH is about 6.5 (it’s outdoor)
The pot I transplanted it too is 2 gallons.
What do you mean by tap? Tapwater?
I know it takes time for that stuff to break down. This deficiency started before I transplanted it. When it was in a solo cup with about 2 inches of soil. He started the seed in the solo cup.

That’s the down side with organics. No matter what you need roots to work with the microbes to work and the plant cant take so much so initially in any transplant i recommend sprinkling it especially the root ball and give it time before feeding more. I cheat and use foliar semi organic nutes plus salycilic acid during transplant.

Add in 1 tblsp of Epsom Salts (food grade or garden grade) to 1 Galolon of water, add weekly. Should assist and unlike other nurtients with salts, the Epsom salts do not gather or stick, they flow threw, so no worries about salt build up. I add every week to my girls. I think it looks more like Potassium deficiency, sometimes hard to tell off one photo.

Thanks! I hear a lot about people using Epsom salt, but I’ve never tried it. I think it’s time to give it a try.
