Is this an Fe def. do to the high amount of the dolomite lime/Ca?
Should I foliar spray with FE (EDTA)?
The bottom leafs look like a K def. and maybe a overall P def. probably also because of too much Ca and maybe low night tempeatures(although the othe spot in the bag-soil don`t look the same)?
Therefore they got water-soluble P, K and Mag.

Any suggestions on what to do?
Next season I will most definatly prepare the spots already in fall.


Second spot:
they have 5 gal. of bag soil containing mainly peat moss, the label says ph: 5.6.
They got

The last pic looks like a PH problem to me. The other pics look like heat stress and poor drainage and plant being overwatered. Somethings wrong with your roots.
