Here's as much background as I can think of.
I pre dug holes about 2x2x2 and filled with black gold organic with some compost mix added in about 1 month prior to planting 18 inch plants started indoor from seed.
I started by feeding EB stone fish emulsion (approx 2 tblsp per gallon) 1 tblsp molasses per gallon and hit it once in June and once in July with liquid bone meal.
Mid- July I switched over to General Organics Bio Weed, Bio Marine, Cal/Mag, Starting the end of July, I have cut back on the N and am using Roots HPK 0-5-4. All of these nutes I have used slightly LESS than the recommended amount.
The grow site is in a grove of pine trees that are about 10 years old.
I started noticing the "tacoing" of my upper leaves about 3 weeks ago with some yellowing and leaf tip browning and a some leaf tip crisping, also the upper leaves don't seem to be growing as large of thick as the lower leaves are developing. The plant itself is a little over 6 feet tall and a good 5 feet across.
In my grow bible Jorge Cervantes, Medical Growers Bible it looks like it "COULD" be any one of several nutrient deficiencies from Zinc, to Mag or even Iron. Given the plant is near pine and fir trees I was wondering if she has outgrown the hole I dug and is in to soil that is too acidic??
Ideas??
