Help!!!

[tjw]

1[SUP]st[/SUP] time grower. Things rolling along, no discoloration. Watered with compost tea (worm castings and molasses fermented mixture I use all over my vegetable garden (plants about 4 “ tall). Now problems: lowest leaves (tiny guys) yellowing. Now upper leave tips appear burned and the yellow is progressing down the leaf to the stem on those leaves. Tested the soil today: Ph 7.5, K “deficient,” Nitrogen “Surplus.” Phos. “Sufficient.” So, flush the soil? Get the Ph balanced first? Go to a fertilizer, or shit-can the whole enterprise and try again in the spring? Any advice appreciated.

Your soil looks very saturated. Is it draining well? Your nitrogen is probably high from the casting tea. Too much worm casting in the soil can make it dense, I use about 25% in my soil. More than that and I've found my plants will languish.

Need to definitely get your ph in order. Lots of problems stem from ph issues. In soil my garden is feed with PH water @6.3 to 6.5. No higher, no lower. I check EVERY TIME.

PH is way too high.
Can’t absorb the nutes..

They look too young to be giving them anything but water. Agree with MeEasy, don't give up on em!
