Still very confused as to what's ailing both plants. Now, all the newer leaves on the Dill and Clementz plants display this exact same coloring (note: I boosted the contrast and brightness so it was easy to see). The only reason I'm not thinking it's a virus is because no fruit have shown any visual changes and I've had a few sets grow fine (on the Dill) after the symptoms had been around for over a week. Also, the color disparity doesn't seem to be getting any worse, but the 1478 still has stalled secondaries. Anyway, it looks like textbook Mn/Mg deficiency, right? But would that cause the vines to cease growth? This doesn't look like any kind of salt/fertilizer damage does it(?) because it's been hard getting the fertilizer concentration right in the drip irrigation...been alternating 24-8-16 and 0-52-34. If anyone has any info at all, I'd love to hear from you: [email protected]

In better news, the keeper on the Dill grew 3" circ. last night and is on pace to easily pass the previous cull's day 15 numbers. Only problem is, it's on the wrong plant, ha!
