I dont think that's excess nitrogen. Before I make a half educated guess, what fertilizers have you used recently? But here is a half educated guess: Your soil test didn't look too bad. It could be an excess salt in the manure you used, or an entirely different possibly a molybdenum deficiency which has that appearance. A molybdenum deficiency might be corrected by adding alfalfa product to your tea making because I think its something alfalfa growers monitor and add to their crop when needed. Some blue fertilizers have molybdenum, some don't.

This is not what I think the problem is, (a very remote possibility?) but it was a good find while internet digging. The plant to the far right sure looks like the cucumber I accidentally overdosed awhile back. Maybe other growers have made such mistakes, idk.

I do have molybdenum in one of my fertilizers have not use it yet. The Turkey litter may be a little salty. we have had a few rains and symptoms are starting to ease, more rain coming tonight should help,my experience with salt in soybeans the first rain after a dry spell blows up symptoms and the next rain eases them. I did put alfalfa pellets, I believe it was close to 100 lb, per thousand feet. only fertilizer I have added since transplant was two light doses of calcium nitrate(.2 and .25 EC). The wind is still my worst enemy just got home lost another main. Two totaled plants and two broke mains, first one is pushing a secondary now. I appreciate the help.
