Deficiency or burn? pics

Doesn't look like magnesium to me. I'd suspect pH or roots that are trying to breathe, or both. cn

a "burn" is a deficiency .

Typical burns, like the usual "nute burn", are from an excess of easily-absorbed nutrient. cn

yea this just started following like 3 rain days in one week. The other plants right next to it don't show the same problem (just those damned reddening petioles)

Bad part here is the surrounding soil is somewhat clayish so drainage may be an issue. (the 5 gallon sized hole it's in was prepared with a better mixture of course)

Any course of action you recommend?

Aerate! cn

Just to clarify, it's in it's own hole.

Edit: re: aereate

OK thanks man will do.

Sounds like a hermie.
Seriously, use a long probe to punch some air holes. Roots need to breathe, and rained-down clay soil can have a smothering action. cn

Thanks. I have just the implement of destruction for that. That clay soil was a blessing all summer long though. Hardly had to water at all during the drought, they never wilted in the slightest. I wish it never ended now. LOL
