Hot dry week, so gave my plants an extra watering without nutrients. I saw these abnormal leaves (pictured) and then I looked up the possible problem the plant was dealing with. My pH has been between 6 and 7, so that may not be the cause. The other possible cause was listed as over watering. ???? During a week without rain. While I have been careful to test pH in my nutrient solutions, the author of one web page suggests that one should test the soil as well. I will purchase a soil test kit.
some work on the soil would be great, like adding Humus (worm poo), like 10kg over the first 20cm of soil, and some cover like chopped leaves. etc. That would increase the amount of roots
