This is just a little project in the corner of our veggie garden. Most of these plants will get chopped, I am looking for an auto male out of a group of 16 plants. There are lots of worms in our garden and we grow or have grown a variety veggies in there.
I don't do any foliage sprays, there is a heavy dew just about every night and the humidity is always high. I was wrong about only 2 having symptoms, there are at least 5 or 6.
I noticed some of the leaves weren't even shaped like pot, they looked like a half a maple leaf. Makes sense since I live in Canada lol.
I also found some of those weeds nearby and some spinach seedlings in raised bed have it too. So far none of the important ladies have shown any signs and are doing well.

I would suppose it is low as well after reading your post, about previous plants . that area may be robbed of its nutrients from other grows, roll the soil over and put the bottom on top. it may be that it isnt that it cant it , as there isnt anything to eat. NPK test kit with ph. still the same result and treatment

We add a few bags of organic stuff every year and till it in. I have fed them some half strength ferts twice in the last couple of weeks. To me the symptoms look pretty extreme for a ph/nute issue and most of the plants look fine.

Well i went looking for clues around the veggie garden and flower beds. I noticed a shit load of spittlebug bubbles on various plants.
This is a pic of some bee balm. Notice the distorted growth and gob of spit where the leaf meets the stem. This is where the larvae hide out and suck plant juices. They aren't considered a serious pest but do cause damage on a small scale. I still don't think this is what caused the damage in my first post but it looks like the damage that some of the seedlings have. I am gonna start spraying a pyrethin incesticide and a fungicide through the veg cycle.
