Have 6 big plants grown outdoors in the ground. These symptoms only occurred on 2 plants 1 worse than the other. And seems to be branch dependant it is effecting new growth first. These first showed there ugly faces in the stretch and dont seem to be getting any better. Coast of main stonington blend was added to each hole along with compost from my piles. Since put in ground in begining of june I have top dressed twice with a 7.1.1.

The plants get watered with a regular garden sprinkler and just realized that they prob wernt getting enough water dureing the stretch. 4 dont care about the water and are 8 foot tall and almost just as big around here are a few pictures. 20190815_124300.jpg 20190814_173237.jpg

Feed some cal mag. They look like they need some nitrogen and cal mag has it. They’ll need it in flower. They look good.

I second the nitrogen,i have no experience myself with cal/mag as in all my years have never needed it,i always seem to get what i need here from the tap,and when i do get a little yellow that a hit of nitrogen doesn't seem to correct,i hit with a little epsom salt,and i mean a little,i use like a tablespoon to a gallon,and it fixes itself usualky within a couple days to a week.

A tablespoon per gallon is standard solution for pouring or for foliar feeding. The V shape of the leaf looks like early sign of needing magnesium as well as the dark veins. Unscented epsom salt by the way.
