fertilizer-nutrients Nutrients or watering?

Hi,

I have an Aji Lemon that Ive been putting some slow release nutrients and watering only when the soil is dry. It is on a 3 gallon container and has some leaves discolouring.

Can you help me identify the problem?

Thanks
Luis

Nobody chimed in on this yet.
So, what the hell. I'll post on it.
Better pictures might help. Can only see 1 or 2 leaves clearly. That one looks droopy and sunken between the ribs. The discoloration is unusual: not starting at the leaf tip or margins, but instead near the stipule. Don't think it's nutrient deficiency.
Symptoms look kind of like soil pH imbalance or overwatering (the color leaching, some leaf rippling, and yellow midrib). But again, the pattern is odd starting at the stipule and only extending halfway down the leaf. Could even be a pathogen like powdery or downy mildew. https://goo.gl/images/YfSCGF
Just noticed there's a leaf on the left side that looks dark green with yellow margins. That's a sign of potassium deficiency.
Really can't tell from the photo.
Post some better pictures.
