This was a really good week. The aerated compost tea of week three had all the leaves deep green, all the leaves flat and soaking up the light. Transplanted the 7 in one gallon pots to 5 gallon buckets. After they all had some lst.
Some of my leaves on a few plants have started to look like they are lacking something. normally my new growth comes in lighter green then darkens up. These leaves have stayed lighter and have the yellowish pattern developing. Am I in need of cal/mag?
based on recent behaviour...
limited fertilizing -- need to feed.
been feeding from start -- stop feeding now and let it 'reset' to alower concentration in substrate, then resume, but give a bit less -- either less frequently or slightly lower concentrations.. context disctates what is best.
And no, that is neither a Ca or Mg related problem from what i can tell. those start with spots first then progress.
starting from tips in, lower on plant -- mobile, likely nitrogen... assuing pH and not lockout from overfeeding other stuff.. e.g. if you dump a ton of cal-mag on a problem that has nothign to do with ca or mg, then you will cause K/Fe/Mg and Mn deficiencies eventually, because teh Ca ions clog sh%t up, chemicaly/biologically speaking.
