Let me call baloney on that one..... I asked you for a ph on your water....which would have indicated whether it could be iron def....

and apparently you were too busy....

i just saw you mention something about ph, never asked me to actually test it. I dont have a ph meter but its probably best if grabbed one to test and see what its at. the water is use is from the well and has heavy calcium deposits, not sure if that makes a difference with ph.

Hmmm I think I've seen the same thing in my plants in organic soil (LC's recipe: lightmix, worm castings, dolomite lime, perlite, blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal).
I think it is the onset of an iron deficiency, at least my plants showed that when I let them go on because I didn't know what I was looking at at the time. Maybe it's because the blood meal(which contains lots of iron from the haem molecule) needs time to be broken down by the microherd ?
Give it a foliar with anything iron in it, I have used BioBizz activera, and you'll see if it was iron def. without f%/&in with the soil ( in case there's nothing wrong down there).

Good luck,

High-pH water is less common and is caused by excessive minerals like calcium, boron and magnesium.

My friend you have a lot to learn.....

One of the most basic things every reasonably competent grower must know is the ph of the water he is using....

duh.....

All you need to do is get some ph test liquid...... no need for a meter...

Anything slightly acidic will do......
