Tied up falling down stems with panty hose...can barely see the hose, they stretch and don't bite into the stem. Edited to say thank you all for helping me grow better brugs!!!

hey Carol, I had a couple of brugs go light yellow like that on the new growth. But not the others below it. I broke down and looked in the book and found it was described to a 'T'. I went and got a bottle of liquid iron concentrate and dosed them according to instructions. They are greening up but it's hard to watch. Starts in between veins and gradually filling out to all edges.
I did the ironite separately since it said it shouldn't be added to a high phosphorous fert.

I've also started adding amonia when I mix up a batch of fert to kick the nitrogen up a notch.

All of these leaves that now have the yellow lines were completely chartreuse like that sweet potato.
