Disease or deficiency?

Mike723 · July 1, 2015

So my Isis Candy Cherry is producing nicely with around a dozen trusses or so already set.
With that being said, I'm noticing some chlorosis with progressing necrotic lesions on older growth. Doesn't look like EB to me, as the necrosis isn't displaying any concentric rings. The growing conditions in the hoop house have been consistently above 70% RH and in the high 80's low 90's. I'm leaning more towards an N/fe deficiency as the plant is a little lanky, and I didn't fertilize as heavily this year due to the vetch crop. I gave them a tbs of tomatotone, ewc and azomite in the planting holes. With weekly fish/seaweed/humic acid drenches. It's my first year with the vetch so I don't have it dialed in just yet, and I didn't incorporate it into the soil; the majority of the residue I left above ground as I'm not so big on tilling these days. I realize that this will delay most of the added N benefits until next year. Any input is greatly appreciated.. Thanks!
