Man. It is what it is. I'm not going to pull anything but make this make sense. I have nice dark green plants for the first 3 weeks on my 1st set of plants this season. then boom, they go to all flowers and turn completely yellow,

I plant backups and boom they turn completely yellow in less than 10 days with good feedings and now these look awful. Make that make sense LOL. I don't really care anymore to be honest. I've already had enough frustration over the last two years so it is what it is! I've spent hours a day trying to figure out what could be going on but I've come up with no answers with everything I've done to the patch the last two years.

Hopefully the fertilizers that I have will still be good in 10 years when I eventually buy my own house with better soil. I guess this patch has had enough
