Scene:
A person posts a picture of a plant with obvious signs of something and everyone starts yelling, "Its this!" or "Its that!" "Dump a bunch of this on it!" or even "Rip it out and burn it."

BEFORE you add, or do ANYTHING to your plants, you need to find out whats really going on. An otherwise obvious magnesium shortage is usually a pH problem. Many symptoms have multiple causes and they need to be narrowed down before treating the plants with anything.

People should know what the pH of their medium is and how pH effects nutrient uptake if it's not in the right parameters. I've seen Ocean Forrest test at 5.5 pH, right out of the brand new bag. It's why I test it.

Otherwise, all the "add this, add that" and you end up with toxic soup.

It's frequently the start of many issues ... as is light intensity. Sometimes less is more.
Yep. Light and pH cause many problems, as do over/under feeding and over/under watering.
This is likely the 4 main issues right here.
