Got the results back from my tissue test. I have a bad deficiency of Ca and Mn. Mn was likely to be as the soil test showed the same thing. The Ca however, shouldn't have been a problem as the soil test showed no lack of Ca. Something is tying it up. There is a slight K deficiency too, but everything else looks fine.

I will be spraying a very diluted solution Potassium Carbonate to bring up to normal levels. I don't want to feed too much K yet, but I want to have enough. Also, Calcimax/Humic acid sprays and drenches will add to my available Ca and I have already done one spray with Manganese Sulfate. I will do two more MnS sprays before the season is up.
