| If anyone can tell me what is going wrong with my Grosse Lisse crop I would be very grateful. They are in good soil that was prepared with dynamic lifter and some ag. lime and when they started to flower I gave them each about 25g of Potash. I think we have had too much rain in the last couple of weeks but there is little I can do about that. The leaf growth has become sparse and the lower leaves are yellowing as in the attached picture. I will post some extra pics. Please help! |

| Hi, looks like a nutrient issue to me. Yellowing of lower leaves is usually associated with nitrogen or magnesium deficiency, which can be caused by over-watering/too much rain. Nitrogen and magnesium are both 'mobile' within the plant so as it grows, it will redirect nutrients from its lower/older leaves to its new growth and lower leaves get less sun so less chlorophyll....more yellow, so could be a combination of both. I wouldn't worry about it too much, maybe add a mild dose of liquid fertiliser. Cheers |

| Seems like a consensus is forming! Thanks so much for your help. We have had too much rain for tomatoes this spring and with our sandy soil I guess that's a recipe for nutrient run-off. I have given them some Powerfeed Flowers and Fruit and will post the result. Any opinions on foliar feeding? |
