Phosphorous deficiency?

[plantingplants]

Two different plants. Handful of them are showing this and it happens on the bottom most fan leaves and kills them and moves up. So obviously a mobile nutrient right?

So mobile nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, molybdenum, magnesium, and zinc. Doesn't really seem like any of them besides P.

The only other thing I can imagine besides P is K. What do you think?

Here is my soil test from before I put plants in it: https://www.icmag.com/ic/attachment.php?attachmentid=362973&d=1463088535

I should mention that these are outdoor plants. They're in modified coots soil, and get nothing but water and have received two foliar feeds of MicroPak + Albion Calcium + Iron + K Si at moderate doses.

How long have they been in this soil since the soil test??

 

[plantingplants]

Hey Mystic, they've been planted for maybe a month.

 

[Mystic Funk]

it' looks like nutrient burn or a ph problem. it doesn't look like a clear nutrient deficiency..
or just one nutrient. when I see leaves shriveling at the base I think burn and or ph..

looks like some bugs were munching on them too?

I would start by testing the ph and then go from there..

hope this helps.

What do you mean by base?

The munched parts just look like that. That's where the dead leaf fell of from handling.

Maybe I should check my foliar pH.

looking at your soil test it seems like your Zinc and Iron might be a bit high.. locking out your Phosphorus

what ph you watering at and whats the ppm of the water..
i think your ph is off, could be too low.
so like somebody already mentioned, check the ph of the soil and then take it from there... looks like potassium defficiancy too..
good luck

Maybe I should check my foliar pH.

At the point where the leaflets start to meet in to one. not the stem of the leaf. it looks like something was eating the leaf? grasshopper or caterpillar? or it's nute burn hard to tell....


can you take more pics for us??
or maybe tell a little more about your routine??
like how much you water and the ph of it?
are they in full sun all day?
any added nutes?
what's in that foliar spray?
is the soil wet for a long period of time?




peace.
