No that was from me adjusting the ph too much and it dropped below 5 causing other deficiencies.

Awesome REF
this is gonna be good.
I am curious if you did indeed have a sulphur def ? I think it might of been a magnesium def which is more common. Sulphur def usually turns newer leafs neon yellow and is a hard deff to get and generally heat can bring it on only to go away shortly as the plant it's self corrects it. All so when treating a micro deff it is best to use an all around form of micros... per say not just sulphur.
long story short I think you could of used Epsom salt to cure your issue and quit fucking with your soil ph and throw that damn meter in the trash.

Definitely sulphur, but it wasn't it was the high ph causing the symptoms so I was assuming sulphur without checking the meter. I used liquid sulphur but also used a trace elements foliar application. Yeah messing with my ph caused more probs than it solved but the way I see it is it's all part of the learning curve, and I'm happy to fuck up as long as I take away some knowledge and hopefully don't kill a plant. This has taught me a lot and now I know lol. Again I walked into this season with a chip on my shoulder and again I got humbled lol! This is why I love this so much. Thanks again.I am curious if you did indeed have a sulphur def ? I think it might of been a magnesium def which is more common.

most good soil should have PH buffers in them. If not add lime . soil it's self is a buffer. when using good soil with buffers you should just be able to use tap water and feed. no PH'ing. It's doesn't matter what the run off says and you just create more lock out Ph'ng stuff.
the plant it'self will change the soil ph to what it needs at a given time. in this case maybe your plants wanted or needed magnesium or sulpur, it really doesn't matter which one and was adjusting their soil ph to a higher range to intake it.and you come around and lower it and feed them sulphur ?

That's exactly what I did lol!the plant it'self will change the soil ph to what it needs at a given time. in this case maybe your plants wanted or needed magnesium or sulpur, it really doesn't matter which one and was adjusting their soil ph to a higher range to intake it.and you come around and lower it and feed them sulphur ?
I saw a problem and I panicked and tried to fix it, they are all back to normal now and I got that knowledge I needed and more. Won't happen again lol!

Those are exactly the symptoms with the florescent yellow on the newest growth.I am curious if you did indeed have a sulphur def ? I think it might of been a magnesium def which is more common.

I need to do some studying for myself on controlling scale. had a bit of it this last year and some white fly. First year with the white fly and the grass seemed to be holding it when I mowed it there was a lot of white fly. The scale issue has progressed in the last couple of seasons and black ants heard the things just like aphids. we have a huge blank ant issue out here ... no water.
I will catch a bit of it in the hottest part of the year sometimes but it generally will correct it's self or the normal feeding with mixed in Epsom salt takes care of it.

This is all shit my abuala (grandma)taught me, she grew peaches and nectarines and too many veggies to count. Maybe old wives tales but she swore by it (The Vasoline and soap) she said the petroleum jelly suffocated them.
