I've had this problem with every plant I've ever grown. I've tried to fix it with different soil, micro-nutrients, ph adjustment... no results. I have searched and found nothing that helped me.

Ph is slightly low... around 6.0
Humidity is around 50%...Seattle area.
MG soil.

Here's some pics... leaves.JPG

The leaves are very dry and waxy, with a purplish hue. Is it a humidity problem? I use dolomite lime and Peters fertilizer. Water when dry, fertilize every 2nd watering.

Lower leaves taco under, top leaves are mottled with upturned edges?

It looks like they got about all the Nitrogen that they can handle..

The Peters is the problem man... you need to ditch it and get some proper nutrients. Also if you are in soil your pH range should be more up around the 6.5-6.8 range....

That "tacoing" is from acidic soil.The ramshorning is from over Nitrification.....

You need to flush that plant with some pH corrected water next watering u give it.get it up around 6.7-6.8.. and get some organic ferts soon so you can kiss them pH problems good bye.
 
what are your temps also? low temperature could be cause the purpling
