I hope these pictures are helpful, I'm not sure if this is a nute burn, or even possibly a Magnesium deficiency .
Just the leaves at the base are point down words, the leaves are yellow, a little bit brown and are starting to die/decay.

yeah I was just about to type that in an edit.... I honestly crushed up a few MG tablets and threw them in the bottom of the pot when I transplanted into a new container last.
Would flushing work the best, or should I attempt to remove the lower level of the dirt and get rid of the residue thats in there?

never heard of mg tablets. except for ponds. try using the correct things (calmag), and no one will help you with the little comments like DUH, if it was duh, why the hell are you asking questions.,....duh

Yes the MG did stand for Miracle Grow, I've just seen it abbreviated that way so many times without thinking that someone would take it as Magnesium. I understand that better now. I'd hope you'd be able to understand me saying duh in relation to asking for humans or plants, I just figured it was an obvious answer under the context. However I looked again and what it was wasn't Miracle Grow, but it did have the exact same color theme very cleaver I must say. Expert Gardener was the brand a slow release tablet for plants. I just found them at my moms house when I was over there and figured I'd steal a little bit.

Well right but now I dunno I'm afraid to over water and kill it at the same time, the soil is still wet from the last time I watered it a couple days ago :( I suppose its that or nothing but at least those tabs aren't directly under the roots anymore at the current moment

well, keep it in good vent and then flush with 2-3x volume of pot when the soil is dry again.

I did flush and its been a couple days, the lower leaves are almost all but dead, and I can see another small brown spot starting to form on one of the other leaves a set up.... :( It starts as a small spot and then progress further.
I'm guessing this is MG deficiency I read I could try using Epsom salts.
This can be quickly resolved by watering with 1 tablespoon Epsom salts/gallon of water. Until you can correct nutrient lockout, try foliar feeding. That way the plants get all the nitrogen and Mg they need. The plants can be foliar feed at �½ teaspoon/quart of Epsom salts (first powdered and dissolved in some hot water). When mixing up soil, use 2 teaspoon dolomite lime per gallon of soil.
This pic reminds me the most of whats going on...

Maybe my water at my house is just too hard?
If the starting water is above 200 ppm, that is pretty hard water, that will lock out mg with all of the calcium in the water. Either add a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts or lime
The water has a ph of almost 8 which is why I switched to using distilled water in the 1st place but not after I'd used the house water 1st.

nute burn usually starts to form around the leaf sides and leaf slowly yellows out and dries with time argh this is prolly something similar dont water it for some time then flush it dont worry about plant being without water it will resist.. and yea it looks like a male sorry:(

I wish I hadn't watered it just early today when I woke it up from tis 6hr nap... aka 18/6. So just stop watering it for a while and hope it goes away?
