Noticed this on one of my plants. The leaves are developing light green patches in areas. A disease or something less worrying?

Also noticed small green bumpy spots on one of my potato plants as well, can't take a picture as it seems it doesn't want to focus on any leaves! These anything deadly as well? -
Could be a nutrient deficiency as I suspect you have grown them on a windowsill in 3" pots.Comment

They got transplanted into the pots just over a week ago. Surely they haven't used up all the nutrients in the pot already?Originally posted by Capsid View PostComment

I doubled their pot size from the previous one, they weren't even pot bound to that one. It doesn't seem very bad (for now XD) as the plant is quite big and healthy looking, apart from the blobs that is!Originally posted by Capsid View Post
They get kept in a east facing window sil, in good heat but quite a low level of ventilation. Could this have any factors to it?Comment

From looking around it seems to always come back to having a magnesium deficiency. What's the best way to boost magnesium in a plant grown in a pot?Last edited by Leeds_lad; 24-04-2012, 05:35 PM.Comment

Epsom Salts is a way of fixing it, just sprinkle a pinch on top and water it in. Magnesium deficiency is common in tomatoes and as mentioned above, you can get a good quality tomato feed with those extra minerals. Mineral deficiency can also be a sign of other things, such as too much feed or even letting the top of the soil dry out.Originally posted by Leeds_lad View PostLast edited by mcuk; 24-04-2012, 08:15 PM.Comment

Looks like the start of magnesium deficiency As above a spray of Epsom Salts should help. But a standard feed like Tomorite could make the situation worse.

Been hoping for free p&p, missed out a few weeks ago - we were in Cyprus, where we saw some 'Fernleaf' lavender. Looks really nice. So I thought I'd look for some plugs/plants when we got back. Seems that you start them from seed, only a few places do them. T&M had them for 99p though, but with...Today, 10:17 AM -
