Stealth what about UNDERfert?? Is that possible?
Bummer, maybe plop a couple in some dirt.Quote:

(mn) manganese
young leaves show symptoms first.
they become yellow between veins(interveinal chlorosis),and the veins remain green.
symptoms spread from younger to older leaves as the deficiency progresses.
Necrotic (dead) spots develop on severly affected leaves which become pale and fall off:overall plant growth is stunted, and maturation may be prolonged.Severe deficiency looks like a severe lack of magnesium.
i quoted that from book
says flush and treat with chelated micronutes
also young and newer growth develop chlortic dark orange to dark rusty brown mottling on leaves.
also says toxicity is compounded by low humidity
hope that might help ya figure it out
First 3 pics are the HK and SB, last 2 are the Church, which seems to me to be unrelated...Any ideas? I am starting to think that the first 3 are actually hungry, read deficient, and the Church maybe N?
Any ideas?

Several syptoms with a common thread.Quote:

I'd whip out my microscope and look at the bottom of those "freckled" leafs .
From the look of the buds and new growth, you may have already fixed it.
The fan leafs are toast.
No gonna get betta.:)
The new growth seems happy.
Are they using water and gaining height?

ok here is a bit on (n) nitrogen def.
nitrogen is most common def.
symptoms include slow growth.
lower leaves cannot produce chlorophyll and become yellow between the veins while the veins remain green.
yellowing progresses through the entire leaf eventually causing it to die and fall off.
stem's and the leaves undersides may turn reddish-purple,
but this can also be a sign of a phosphorous deficiency.
progression at a glance:
older leaves yellow between veins
older bottom leaves turn entirely yellow
more and more leaves yellow.severely affected leaves drop.
leaves might develop reddish-purple stems and veins on underside of leaf.
stealth, plz check the veins under leaves
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
toxicity(overdose)
a overdose of (n) nitrogen will cause excessively lushfoilage that is soft and susceptable to stress including insect!! and fungal attacks.the stems become weak and they may fold over easy. the vascular tissue transport tissue breaks down,and water uptake is restricted.
In severe cases,leaves turn a brownish-copper color,dry,and fall off
the #3 picture are those leaves a blueish-green color ??
I emailed you the phosphorus deficiency " you've got mail" lol
oh ya these are quotes from book
:DI see in my ealier post I did'nt add enough on the Potassium def. after reading the book, it sounds very close to what I see in pictures.
(k)Potassium starved plants initially appear healthy.
Deficient plants are susceptable to disease.
symptoms include the following:
older leaves(first tips and margins,followed by whole leaves) develop spots,turn dark yellow and die.
Stems often become weak and sometimes brittle.
Potassium is usually present in the soil,but is locked in by high salinity.
First,leach the toxic salt out ot the soil and apply a complete n-p-k fertilizer.
potassium deficiency causes the internal temperature of the foilage to climb(heat) andthe protein cells to burn or degrade.
evaporation is normally highest on leaf edges,and thats where the burning takes place.
Progression at a glance
plants appear healthy with dark green foilage.
leaves loose their luster.
branching may increase,but the branches are weak and scrawny.
leaf margins turn grey and progress to a RUSTY-BROWN color,and then curl up and dry.
Yellowing of the older leaves is accompanied by RUST-COLORED blotches!!
toxicity
occurs ocasionally and is difficult to diagnose because it is mixed with the deficiency symptoms of other nutients.
Too much potassium impairs and slows the absorption of magnesium,manganese, and sometimes zinc and iron.
look for signs of toxic-potassium buildup when symptoms of (mg) (mn) (zn) (fe) deficiencies appear.
looks like it might be this one? potassium deficiency caused by ?? nutelockup?? I'm a noobi dont know much:D I just qouted from the book cause I wanted to help in someway, gonna read the mg def know
!!! :(
Don't die little plants! You want to live! :thumbsup:

lol...they will live...I just want them to not be stunted bad.
