I wouldn't disturb the root ball too much...you'll probably find nothing but roots anyway :???: But don't over water after the transplant...the new soil has a lot of moisture to it...and you don't want an over watered plant in a 7 gallon pot...Let me know if you need anything else...I can make you a shopping list if you wanna ditch the synthetics all together ;)

Dont go chasing runoff pH as it indicates nothng about the mediums actual pH. The leaves that were originally affected will not recover and will continue to fade away. What you want to watch is the new growth. And also for signs of it spreading. Also the epsoms salts is a good source of Magnesium. Don't let the word salt scare you. Most of the nutrients are salts of some sort.

I just don't know if I'd want to add salt..can you get some cal mag? How long have you had her in that pot? Hard to feed a root bound plant...gonna need lots of room for growth during the stretch after you flip your lights too...fresh soil would probably do you some good...even if it is MG
My first grow I used MG...my first grow sucked :)

Epsom salts is an ingredient for https://www.rollitup.org/organics/539844-subs-supersoil.html I use it all the time...EDIT: Epsom Salts is the Mag in the Cal Mag you use :bigjoint:

...it is definitely some kind of P lock out, which in turn could lock out a lot of other needed nutrients, so I don't know what you been told as I am going by these pics and nothing else...I would find me some good soil (just cuz it cost more don't mean it's good) I have use Miracle Grow Moisture Control with great results (don't listen to the mg haters)...and a good five gallon bucket, that's what I use, and drill holes every 2 square inches, so it resembles your airpot :mrgreen: ...and transplant her using nothing but PHed water, out of your tap, give water for at least 2 feedings before you give her nutes again...and DO NOT put her in flower until this is under control, or you will be the next newbie cryin' about a hermie, and then I'll have to say AIN'T NO HERMIES it's newbies putting these stressed plants into flower and they're self pollenating :-( ...peace and good luck...EDIT: Make sure your temps are 70F at soil level and no more than 85 in the canopy with ONLY a 10-15 degree difference in lights to light-out...

mix in your dolomite this time for real......DO IT.....even if you opt for the Fox Farm stuff.

It won't provide all the cal and mg you need but it will stabilize your PH.

I gotcha...I've used it for outdoor plants (gardenias) but I don't for potted plants. (Personal preference) And I was only suggesting that their was probably a lot of salt buildup because he's been in that pot from the start...and he's in MG soil...I experienced that in my first grow and it had my pH very acidic. I'm using other organic ingredients to get my calcium and magnesium...trying to avoid the "bottle" this grow...

We are all generally telling you the same thing...your plant has deficiencies...transplanting into some fresh soil (regardless of what brand) will help. The nutes in your pot have been used up and your roots need more space...you can feed Epsom salts or anything else you want but I don't think it will help until you get the "problem" resolved.
And don't forget to add lime to your new soil...it's a MUST...
