have you been using nuits when watering? Ocean forest from what i understand is already full of plent of them. so i'd say its most likely a toxic salt buildup locking the nutrients out

no i usually dont feed them for awhile because of that reason with the ff ocean forest soil. any ideas on what i should do ? keep watering with the epsom or no?

i wouldn't use the epsom thats just adding more salt to what is most likely an over fertilized situation. the soil is probably too "hot" as people put it and it burning your plants and im sure the epsom compounded the problem. a good test for Mg is to foliar feed with epson salts. it has quicker results than addin it to what your watering with. but like i said i dont think its Mg thats the primary problem. if any deficiency it could be it looks like a P defic. but that could because of a nutrient lock up

so just lower the ph on my water for awhile?

Folair feed that sucker. mix 1 table spoon Epsom salt with 1 gallon of h20 and spray the leaves. more importantly the bottom of the leaves where the majority of stomata(mouths) are located.

DO NOT water your plant with fertalizer or this salt. it will only complicate things more. nutes are salt... too much salt will cause a big problem, the plants h20 will be leeched out through the roots. lol just thinking of that is funny, the plant is trying to grow and then suddenly its sucked dry... bad osmosis
