Re:Mustard Yellow Spots on Leaves
I had similar yellow spots on a few of my plants. I have been told it
can be a genetic thing, or possibly over-fertilizing. The spots will
eventually burn through the leaves, leaving small holes, but should not
cause a serious problem. In my case I was definitely over fertilizing
so I cut back a bit and all new growth was clear. Some have suggested
to me it can be caused by fertilizer granules on the leaves, but since
I was only using water soluable fertilizer (and only as a drench) I
pretty much ruled that out.
