i've not come across that guide before. thanks! i think the problem is PH. my run off on 3 out of the 4 was around the 5.5 area. where 1 of them (the worst looking) was around 4.9. I hadn't been checking the "run off" water and didn't know the PH levels for soil. which seem to be from 6.5-7. I'm flushing the plants with higher PH adjusted water for the rest of the week or so to see if that doesn't help. i'll take pictures soon as possible.
