Calcium mag. More than likely a overfeeding of nutrients. If he says he has been feeding every day, is that regular tap water is it?
Most people's tap waters run alkaline a over 7.0,
What is it though when we say alkaline... just means it's full of "mineral salts". Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc.
When we fertilize we leave it up to the grower to decide if they want to add cal mag generally because your tap water has often enough in it already.
We all love to give a little extra cal mag just incase, makes it a very easy mistake to make.
Calcium is a bitchy nutrient in that it doesn't play well when in excess, it starts to interrupt uptake of other nutrients which can present as deficiency of other nutrients when it's just high levels of calcium.
First off before anything you need to get a accurate pH first in order to guide what to do next.
Excess amounts calmag no doubt ph is high.
Aluminum sulfate is very fast acting natural ammendment you can add to water for acidicfying the soil. I use it regularly to great effect.
You could also flush flush flush and reset the soil but by doing so you will wipe out most nutrient based on their mobility within the soil.
Nitrogen as Nitrates+ is extremely mobile in soil, Nitrogen as Ammonium- is extremely immobile in soil.
Ammonium over 30% is no no no.
Get your ph back in line and should be ok.
