    A few questions about growing..

    Did you pull the mesh off before planting in the ground?. The mesh screws up root growth. One time I dug up a few plants that looked sick and found the mesh was keeping the roots from getting out of the jiffy pellets.   I use peat pots now-...

    Blossom drop.

    Ca. and Mag. are used by the same receptors in a plant. If either is used heavily it blocks the other...   I like witches brew - Disolve Dolomite lime in Vinegar, It adds both nutes. Add brew to water and it has seemed to be aq pretty good balance of both.
