Veg stage is over and flowering stage has begun. Most of my lower leaves on about 2/3 of the plants are yellow(ing), and some are browning and dying completely. I know my nitrogen is good, there may be even slightly too much as the top leaves are dark green and a nitrogen test showed adequate levels. A few leaves have dark edges and stems with slightly lighter green on the inner leaves almost turning yellowish, also some of the petioles are purple-ish on the underside(P deficiency?). I can only think that it may be a lack of Sulfur or some other micro-nutrient, may also be potash but that level also seems adequate. I feed with blood meal originally, then two doses of 10-10-10 before symptoms appeared. And Last week a cut down water soluble 18-18-21 nute in hope to fix. pH tests are all over the place ranging from 6-7 with an average of 6.6 so the potash should be available. Note: outdoor bucket grow. The 18-18-21 was applied after I noticed the problems. I use river water with a neutral pH and no Sodium to worry about.
