Alright this is interesting. I believe it was Porkchop that told me to start a few plants a month ago and plant them in different areas of the patch to see how they would react in warmer outdoor weather conditions than the plants in the hoop houses. I planted them and this is how they look a few weeks later. Same thing. They start out looking good and then turn a pale color and those secondary's that you see are getting stunted and starting to flower. Soil looks dry but it's not as dry as it looks. If this is disease that's causing these issues, then the warmer soil temperature may be really aggravating the disease pathogens and maybe that's why the larger plants are getting hit now again? It was in the 90s last week and the soil temp has been very hot. Im sending in a soil test to see how my nutrient levels are
