Hi all, new to the forum, and first time grower, so any help would be undeserved, but enormously appreciated as I see a great deal of useful experience in here. I’m on day 52 from sprout, and my girl Gilda is displaying some extremely concerning signs. I can’t figure out if I’m experiencing a micro deficiency or macro excess or total lockout from wacky pH mismanagement, or a fun, interrelated combination of all the above… On her newer growth, in the last 7 days, she’s developed some nasty interveinal chlorosis and some yucky rust spots… I’ve attached some photos for you. Let me know if any additional info or better/more photos are needed.
Thanks so much in advance!
