White-brown sickly leaves. Help!

[lostninja]

My plant is suffering from something but I'm not sure what. The leaves are all turning white and brown with discoloration on the edges. It's happening uniformly over the plant especially on the new budding leaves.
No problems whatsoever up until flower and then suddenly this happened. I have a soil mix of 3 parts dirt, 1 part worm castings 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part peat moss. I water when it gets completly dry and it drains well. I use a light fertilizer maybe once every 4th or 5th watering and use a little bit of liquid seaweed sometimes. Could this be lack of magnisium? Please help save my baby! She's too young to die....

Bingo, It is magnesium. You can treat 2 ways, Water with 2 teaspoons of Epsum salt ( magnesium sulphide ) per gallon of water. If you want fast results, spray foilage with a 2 percent solution of Epsum salts. Your plantw ill green top to bottom, keep treating until the green is good .

I live in Japan and unfortunatly I can't find epsom salt out here. Is there anything else I could use as a substitute? I can get sea salt or rock salt. Would those work too?

Most pharmacys and grocery stores sell epsom salt check there.
