Noticed yesterday that my bigger plant has a few distinct yellow spots, the biggest maybe 1/8" in diameter on a few of the leaves. The plant looks very healthy and is vining about 4 inches a day, when we get some sunshine up here in Maine. Watering every other day or so, altenating between deep watering and surface/foliar feeding. Anybody know what these very distinct spots could be?

yeah, as a matter of fact they are small, bright and near the eges but not right on the edges..
That makes me feel better.
Wife is having a cow, spent way too much on these things and it's only my first year, commercial seeds...
next year we get super serious, won't she be happy...:)

you need to carefully plan your attack...
for some it works to spread out your
purchaces... that way they are harder to detect.
for others everything all at once works better
then there is only one event to deal with.

My wife is supportive and understanding however concerned about the spending, sometimes she freaks, sometimes not. I think there is a dollar amount haven't figured out exactly what the limit is yet and I ain't going to ask then I'm stuck to a budget.
