Hi farmers, this week I've noticed a few of my girls are showing signs of stess on the tips and new growth. New leaves are skinny and twisted and look stunted. I'm growing outdoors in a home made living soil which consists of home made veg compost and worm castings(50%), good organic quality soil/compost from my local nursery(30%) (this contains mostly more worm castings and veg compost plus fish emulsion, saw dust and wood ash), coconut husk 10% and 10% perlite. I realise the mix is lacking some rock dust and other minerals but that's not so easy to get here in Costa Rica. To help try to compensate this my veg compost has ground egg shells and wood ash in there.
I tested the soil yesterday and the average PH was 6.4 so that all seems to be on track. Only thing I've introduced this week is Technafloras Seaweed Extract powder and epsom salts both as a foiler and soil drench(on separate days), both things I used sparingly and at about half the recommended ratios. Another possible factor is the temperature has gone up a few degrees but it's pretty warm all year around so shouldn't be a big shock to them.
My solution is to just water with dechlorinated PH'd water for a couple weeks and let them be but I would like more opinions.
I appreciate any advice you guys have ✌
