I planted these 2 blackberry plants on June 1st and have been looking great until a few weeks ago. At that point i saw what i thought to be nitrogen deficiency so i started added fertilizer once at 1/4 strength and it appeared to disappear until last week. It looks like it is something different now that I have never seen before. There are these brown spots on all the bottom sets of leaves. What is wrong with them?

my plant had a similar problem, it ended up being nute burn and a lack of nitrogen. also do you check the ph of your water

Could it be nute burn even if I watered with 1/4 strength fertilizer? Would i be better off ferting with blood meal instead of miracle grow? if so what strength?

I agree looks like a nute burn or lockout........flush throughly and let them rest without the fertilizer for a week. You might try after the flush some super thrive or other suppliment, just vitimans and hormones, great for veg. Here is a site you might find very helpful both now and in the future...http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 Hope this helps....Good Luck:joint::mrgreen:

The leaves I showed the close up pics of died and the leaves above are the same. I did a pH test of my soil and it was 6.3-6.5 & 5.3-5.5. Would that cause any lockouts? If so how would i raise the pH without buying ne thing at the store? Would Blood Meal work?
