Hi everyone! This thai basil in an 8in pot has been growing prolifically, then came to a halt recently, with leaves drooping and lower/middle leaves getting dark freckles. For sure they are not on newer leaves. I have another thai basil in a different pot but both came from the same mother plant, and it’s also exhibiting similar symptoms.
Roots are starting to circle at the bottom but I feel like it’s too early for rootbound. I never fertilized it before so recently I gave it epsom salt and Fox farm grow big. That was couple days ago and it’s still droopy.
South facing window all day + grow light for another 8 hours or so. I water only when my finger is dry.
Would love some suggestions! Chatgpt said magnesium, but online pictures look different. AND i already gave it Mg! Maybe it takes weeks? To show improvement?
Thank you!!!

I would get some tomato liquid fertalizer
And use that. Remove all yellow leaves and start looking for a new pot. Mabey do a double pot with a bag on the inside for air pruning. And addin so drainage. I like my bottom of pots to have perlite and some gravel or sandmix. Did you just have a cold snap they dont loke temps 65 or below…
Space
And lack of pruning !
