After a few days of reading I’m a 100% sure this is a iron deficiency most likely caused by nutrient lockout due to high ph watering.
Up until the last watering I did my ph has been 6.5 now I took it down to 6.0 and my last watering I did about 15% run off. When I measured the ph of run off on last watering it was 5.8 but when I tried to measure the Ppm my meter would just give me lines so I assume this meter goes up to a 1000 and my ppm was higher.
I have ordered a new ppm meter and should get it before next watering.
I made a cal-mag foliar spray and started misting the leaves hoping this will help with the iron deficiency until I get the lockout sorted.
My watering from now on will have at least 10% run off and I will not add any nutrients for next two watering.
Does this sound like a good plan or am I way off?
