Maybe the yellow specks in leaves are the plants
that give more colourful fruit. I think the rivard may be a slow
starter, it is my smallest plant in the main patch, yet was one of the first to
germinate. other plants that came up after it and were slower at seedling
stage have taken it over.. but they were undercover slighty
longer...

Subject: What could cause
this?
I have three plants in my hill............853
Papez, 802 Geiger, and 1062 Rivard. When looking at the 802 Geiger,
you would bet anything that it has a magnesium deficiency based on the
yellowing of the leaves around the leaf veins. When looking at the 853
Papez, you would almost bet that it has a nitrogen deficiency due to the
yellowing of a few of the leaves around the edges. And looking at the
1062 Rivard, you would say it's a great looking plant, with great color, not
a speck of yellow to be found...............
And the question
is...............Are different plants (genetics) prone to different
problems? AND........Can it be possible that I have a nitrogen
deficiency, or a magnesium (one symptom in each of two plants) and then have
a third plant that shows no symptoms of either deficiency?
All three
plants are in the same hill, and were planted no more than a foot apart from
each other. I also find it interesting that the 853 Papez is twice as
big as the 1062 Rivard, and is throwing fruit. The 802 Geiger is also
a good bit larger than the 1062 Rivard.
Any comments would be
appreciated.
