Hello,
I'm either growing lifesaver or hashberry.

I"m using Fox Farm Ocean Forest.

Anyhow, sorry, keepin it short...i'm heading to work. I took some picutures of the leaves. They are rapidly turning purple. Big change just overnight.

Help me figure out what this is..its really starting to bother me...is it too much or something or a defficiency?

sorry..its a photobucket image....ICMAG REFUSES to load images..keep giving me errors...

How often are you feeding them?

Your plants are in a computer case?

Your food you are using has no magnesium in them it's got zinc, iron manganese.
So you will need to supplement with magnesium; you can use dolomite lime in your mixture next time if you want to continue using your MG product.

Just do not listen to the back of the box; I would use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water.

I used to use that myself was very careful how much I used.
To fix the problem now you can use epsom salts 1 tsp per gallon with your mg mixture.

You have access to a hydro shop?
