HI

I started seedlings on April 1st.
They where put in a greenhouse from April 7th to May 8th.
Then they where about 1ft tall and where put to the spot.

The spot is covered with stinging nettle. A simple ph-test with a space of 1 ph between every colour (so not that accurate) told me a ph of 5 in the soil.

On April 1st:
I prepared every hole about 1.5 ft deep with approxamatly 14 oz of dolomite lime, 3 oz of rockdust and 3-5 handfulls of cow manure pellets (about 2-2-2).

May 8th:
On the day of tranplanting them outdoors I added approx. 2.8 oz of seabird guano 9-7-4 per plant.

June 1st:
1.4 oz seabird guano 9-7-4

Now they are between 2 ft and 4 ft tall.

Single plant, sorry for beeing wrongly flipped after uploading:

Every plant on the lowest pair of leaves:


Early budding?




My questions:
1. Any general advice?
2. What is the problem with the lowest leaves?
2a. what organic or synthetic fertilizer should I use if at all? Best if solid and not as water solution if possible...
3. Why are 2 plants showing uprised edges on all of the upper leaves? Picture 4
4. Will they grow any more although already starting to bud?
5. How much yield can I expect on a plant?

6. Sorry for my bad english.
7. Thank you!

The leaves curling up at the edges is probably a magnesium deficiency. This is most likely caused by the low Ph of your soil. You said you added dolomite lime, but it takes awhile to raise the Ph of the soil or you may have added too much and the calcium may be blocking the magnesium out. The holes in the leaves most likely caused by insects. Check out this thread for great info on deficiency's.

Iron do to too much of Ca? Should I foliar spray with Fe (EDTA)? Or could it simply be cold night temperatures of about 50 °F?


This next two are in bag soil with mainly peat-moss ph 5.6:
