Too much water or too much N can cause yellowing. It is hard not to want to
pump both to your plants. I would guess too much fertilizer.

Also, some of the leaves on a vone, not the vine with my big fruit on it,
but another primary vine has leaves that have started turning yellow. What
nutrient in excess or defeciency cause yellowing of the leaves? Thanks
