Not true Blitz. I wrote this earlier: "Phosphorus poisoning to be specific." Which you later acknowledge when you wrote "Keep reading rookie, no, that is not a phosphorus toxicity at all!" How can you say I never mentioned this when you make a statement on it yourself?
It's an over fert condition that has accumulated over time. I'm aware of this plant being an annual type and it will die naturally at the end of its life cycle, before a 12 month period. I still think you're insane.
That's right, sorry i missed it lol. You wrote, "That's not natural yellowing. The plant is being poisoned with too much stuff." Then you said by stuff, you mean phosphorus. Sorry, thought you were completely guessing lol ;) I said to that, that is absolutely nothing to do with phosphorus toxicity! Then why isn't there an iron and/or zinc deficiency? Excess phosphorus in your medium would also start locking out calcium and magnesium..the yellowing in the pics is not consistent with anything whatsoever that resembles any of those deficiencies, so i ask, why do you say too much phosphorus, aside from assuming, simply because OP mentioned what he has on hand. My point is, you are all over the place in your posts, i hav read countless ones, and it is all complete guesswork, backed by absolutely zero knowledge or fact!

The soil being used has nutrients in it already. It appears there are dark green leaves that are turning yellow. The grower is giving more fertilizer, much of which probably has a lot of phosphorus. It's just simple cause and effect, Blitz. If you were to swallow a handful of vitamins, you'd be poisoning yourself with them because your body only needs so much and anything after that amount is too much. Ever hear of people going blind because they took too much vitamin A? It has happened. Those plants are being over ferted and poisoned as a result.

It 'appears' dark green....'probably' has too much phosphorus...you are guessing your way along! Either way, im hitting the ignore button as i don't have time for this with you in every thread..i love debating, but again, you have proven yourself completely unarmed on this subject of plant growing, so it's not my interest to play your game lol. Good luck growing moss, or whatever you grow!
To the OP, i can guarantee you beyond any doubt, that those are not the signs of over fertilization, let alone a phosphorus toxicity!!!

Blitz has said before that he would put me on ignore. He won't. This plant problem has to be over fert because too much of it has been given. Interesting that Blitz completely ignores that fact. He is insane. Or more accurately, has a serious personality disorder.
