Four possible keepers on Ivy's 150 sq ft Holland plant. Its about 12 ft x 12 ft now and looking healthy. The leaf damage is sun damage not disease.

The pumpkins arent growing perfectly well though, so we are getting a tissue test done, the sample was taken from leaf stalks that were after the largest pumpkin.

I suspect a partial ph imbalance, locking up phosphorus and magnesium. We pretty well saturated this plant with fertilizer so we cant just be more-ons & add more. We need to know the specific deficiency or imbalance at this point because it looks to me like we are in the upper range for some micronutrients and nitrogen.

Will share the test results early next week.
