Hi Velveto! ...dusting off my brain cells, here,.. the pics-- these were posted at the LHT a while ago, right-- Thrip infestation? Lordy, the Jack and Durb' got hammered!... I gather you finally won that battle, or are they still popping up? *(spider mites can cause similar damage, but it's focused much more on the bottom of the leaves,.. until it gets reeeeally bad! but by then, the webbing and sheer numbers are tell-tale,... and the leaf usually dies soon after,... thrips, however, are bold little shits, and feed freely on upper surfaces, and are highly mobile-- they may dine-and-shine!)....I ask, because I see some black specks,... some look like dirt particles, but others look like possible thrip turds,... these are flatter, and stick to the surface more or less,... such attacks are super stressful on the plants, so off-color leaves are typical,... Now that said, Ca-Mg issues are common at this stage, and so is some normal lower leaf yellowing,... the lime is pretty slow acting, depending on particle size, so you need something that's available immediately... if you saw some improvement, I wonder if the soil was acidic, and the lime helped raise it up some, increasing nute' availability...? In any case, epsom salts are great, fast acting, BUT only bring Mg and Sulphur (MgSO3) to the table, no Ca,... I can't be sure from these pics if there's any actual defc.,... if you like, post some more at the LHT or Infirmary... :smoke:
