I’ve done so much research todya on my day off. But I think I’ve come to a logical conclusion.
It’s NOT over fertilised. It’s the opposite. The photo above comes from a calcium deficiency. So if anything I have not enough micronutrients!
Boron, calcium abs a few others.
Have a look at the website below. But it’s not over fertilising. The symptoms are closer to deficiencies!
You have no idea how long I’ve been looking at this. Sorry I’m a tad overwhelmed bu it.
Link below to what I’m going off but I’ve crossed referenced it and others sites say the same.
