i am curious if anyone thinks it might be manganese deficiency? It kinda looks that way from some of the pics i have seen. I also think it might be a problem with me letting the tops drying out. The only thing is the inside of the soilless mix is still pretty wet and seems to take a long time to dry even with low humidity and good airflow. I am trying to stick with organics. I put some gaia green all purpose on it last watering but i dont think it will break up in time. Maybe if i add some bokashi and worm castings with a tea and molasses i can get a good culture going and it might help.
