Is the soil around the edge of the pots really as dry as it looks in the pic? 

 

 

No, I wouldn't say it was too dry. I took the pics just before watering. I had just rotated the fabric pots a bit which probably made it look like a big gap between the soil edge and the pot.

Must be my old eyes playing up,lol.What helped me in a similar situation was to give them a good soaking with some extra Epsom salts added and turn the heating up.

Thanks Mr M. Looking at the ca:mg ratio of my water and reading all the helpful posts it seems to me that cutting out the calmag and adding a pinch of Epsom salts might do the trick. I'll check the temps at root too, although at this time of year it's up and down on a daily basis.

And there's your problem.......Environment is Everything! Most plant nutrient uptake problems are exacerbated by low temperatures. Keep the dial in the 20' and most problems seem to disappear ime.

Thanks mate. I'll keep that in mind.
