Alright, Today I was on the phone with western labs for about 20 minutes and discussed my issues in the patch the last two years. They recommended that I send them in some plants to test as well as a soil sample as well. I made the decision to send them in a butternut plant, as well as the 839 as those two were manageable size to fit in a box and send in and I wanted to at least keep the 2181 Masters as that plant at least has a main tip left. The 839 tip was completely flowered and stunted. I also included some roots from both the butternut and 839. Hoping to get to the bottom of this!!! It may be a sulfur issue but I need to be 100% sure what this is and hopefully this testing will finally tell me what has been going on over the last two years!
