Hello, question.....
Last year I experienced something strange. I had a few very strong, green,
pumpkin vines growing. As soon as the first fruit appeared (10-20 lb
pumpkin starting to grow) the vine stem started to yellow streak and the
leaves started to yellow. Is it possible the plants were absorbing
nitrogen at a phenominal rate? I tested the soil and noticed my soil
nitrogen dropped off. Why? From one extreme to another? >>
Some AG's will produce yellow leaves and vines on their own then change back
to green. This doesn't seem to have effect on the growth. Hard to tell what
yours is without a picture.
