Terp1answered grow question 8mo ago This is Mg deficiency. You need to dim your light a bit and preferably add 0.3g of Epsom salt dissolved in the watering water just once. You won't be able to repair the leaf damage, but you can contain it so it doesn't spread. The reason for this can be varied - you need to figure that out. It's often not due to missing nutrients in the substrate. Usually, pH fluctuations, root stress, or general environmental problems are the cause. I just experienced something similar with my papaya plant. It was most likely because the light was too strong during the day and at night the VPD dropped too much because the temps crashed. With a lot of light (also relatively high VPD), the plant consumes more nutrients, and at night it couldn't keep up with the low transpiration.
