Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is common in all mediums and hydro. It is not common outdoors. Mg is mobile.
Mg deficiency starts in the lower leaves. The veins remain green while the rest of the leaf turns yellow, exhibiting chlorosis. The leaves eventually curl up, and then die. The edges of affected leaves feel dry and crispy. As the deficiency continues it moves from lower leaves to the middle to upper half. Eventually the growing shoots change from a pale green to white color. The deficiency is quite apparent in the upper leaves. At the same time, the stems and petioles turn purple.
Mg deficiency is one of the easiest nutrient deficiencies to diagnose and cure. It occurs more frequently if using distilled, reverse osmosis water and tap water that has low ppm count.
