the link doesnt work, but thanks. im just now getting to do a little reading. i gave it a good dose of water then we had a heavy rainstorm so i hope it helps. i took a look this morning and seems just the tips are whitish(it was almost dark last time i looked, then rain yesterday) the cupped up leaves are straightening out, but now there are a few crinkly ones. and also a few rust colored spots on a couple of them. i looked for bugs and didnt find any. ill let you know what i find. btw, its outdoors in a pot.

great info there for someone who needs a detailed description of defficencies and pictures. i think i have a mag and calcium defficiency caused by acidic soil,ph problems. i used peat in my soil but havnt had problems before. i think ill make a tea of worm castings(my soil has a large amount mixed in though) and see if it helps, i cant afford a ph tester right now, hopefully soon. i know you are probably not supposed to do this, but what do you think of a crushed multi vitamin in the water? i really dont have any more options at the moment. payday is 4 days away. any advice you can give will be a help since it says not to add more of the nutrient if it has been locked out. another thing, it was like it came on almost instantly, 4 days ago i checked and gave it plain water and it was healthy, i had fertilized (20/20/20)and gave it molasses about 3 days before that.
