After my last post about increasing success in the greenhouse, i noticed a big problem: leaves turning yellow, in some cases so pale they are almost white:<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Some possible causes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. too much water, not enough water<\/li>\n
  2. too much nitrogen, not enough nitrogen<\/li>\n
  3. some other nutrient lacking which is needed to make chlorophyll<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Interestingly, it is almost exclusively the YM (Yutaka Midori) that are experiencing the problem.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Yabu and Beni that were potted at the same time in the same soil, and the same water\/fertilizer treatment, are fine.<\/p>\n

    I figure i can rule out 3, and since i’ve been giving them all plenty of water and fish emulsion recently, i’m gonna guess that it’s probably 1-2 “too much”.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 So, i’ll be holding off some of the water and all the fertilizer for my YM for a while.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully they’ll survive; the palest leaves are likely to die and fall off, maybe taking the whole plant with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
