Im really sorry to post a nute def thread but i did my homework, i searched all around the net and I cant distinguish magnesium and zinc deficiency. I believe that my plant has more than one def plus I had some slugs that i hopefully got rid of with egg shells. This is my first outdoor grow. Started her inside and transplanted about 1 week ago.

looks like a few things. do u know the ph of the soil because could be a lockout so dont want you to add nuts when it is lockout and would cause more probs. So if you can find out the PH that would help alot

great teh water is fine but what about the soil. What is the soil ph. Get soil ph tester? what is the ph of the water u are feeding it?

The water is at about 6.8 but I dont know for the soil. I dont have a soil ph tester and the only ones i saw were really expensive

For slugs wrap copper wire loosely around the stem, it burns the slugs and they will not come near the plant. You can strip some speaker wire and use it.

Get some composted sheep shit at hommer depot and sprinkle some on top, than water lightly, about 1/2 thick shit all around should do it. Also buy a bar of Irish spring (the green one) poke a small screwdriver through the side of the box, put 3 holes in each side for a total of 6. This will keep animals away from your plant.

It's also a good idea to have a piss near the plant as added animal repellent and it's good for your plant, just don't piss on the plant.

Digging a deep hole and putting a baby diaper in the bottom will trap water for those dry days.

If you can find it Worm Castings are gold when growing outdoors, feeds your plants with micro nutrients and elements and keeps bugs away, excellent for your plants and helps give your plants that dank flavor. No it does not taste like shit LOL

Are you over watering? There is also light shock causing stress which should go away in another week.

Zinc
plays a roll in the same enzyme functions as manganese and magnesium. More than eighty enzymes contain tightly bound zinc essential for their function. Zinc participates in chlorophyll formation and helps prevent chlorophyll destruction. Carbonic anhydrate has been found to be specifically activated by zinc.
This may be accompany by reduction of leaf size and a shortening between internodes. Leaf margins are often distorted or wrinkled. Branch terminals of fruit will die back in severe cases.
Also gets locked out due to high pH. Zn, Fe, and Mn deficiencies often occur together, and are usually from a high pH. Don't overdo the micro-nutrients- lower the pH if that's the problem so the nutrients become available. Foliar feed if the plant looks real bad. Use chelated zinc. Zinc deficiency produces "little leaf" in many species, especially woody ones; the younger leaves are distinctly smaller than normal. Zinc defeciency may also produce "rosetting"; the stem fails to elongate behind the growing tip, so that the terminal leaves become tightly bunched.

Excess Zinc is extremely toxic and will cause rapid death. Excess zinc interferes with iron causing chlorosis from iron deficiency. Excess will cause sensitive plants to become chlorotic.

Use the sheep shit!

Immobile elements will show their first symptoms on younger leaves and progress to the whole plant.
