Comments (7)"Daily watering" is almost always over-watering. Add rain and it definitely becomes too much water. But in this case i suspect lack of any nutrients is the main issue. They need to be fed. All plants need to be fed something and in containers it needs to be fed regularly.. I would normally recommend one of the many organic liquid fertilizers available but in order to recover from the excess water, a granular one would work better this time. There are probably 35-40 different organic granular fertilizers available so it all depends on what you can find locally. Any of the big box stores like Walmart, Home depot, Lowe's etc sell them, so do most nurseries. Follow the label directions for amount and frequency of application.

Comments (4)I concur. You may be burning the plants with such high ppm since the majority of the TDS levels are from NPK. You also will need to add calcium since you took out the main source of calcium, tap water. My suggestion is to half the nutrient strength, and purchase some CalMag supplement and use that to make up for the lack-there-of. If the plants bounce back then you can try to raise the nutrient strength slowly and see how the plants react. Wrinkly leaves usually = Ca deficiency or bugs Burned tips usually = nute burn or light burn This post was edited by ethnobotany on Sat, Jan 12, 13 at 19:57...See MoreYellowing leaves on zucchini

Comments (8)If your soil is depleted in nutrients then sure it can affect other plants that are growing in it. Not by spreading to them, it isn't a disease. Just that what they need is not available. You don't say what you amended the soil with or how much but a one time application of most things is rarely sufficient. Regular feeding throughout the season is the norm. And soil amendments and fertilizers aren't the same thing. Soil amendments are for improving soil structure, drainage, water retention, tilth, etc. They provide little if any nutrients for plants as that isn't their role. That is what fertilizers are for. A professional soil test could be quite beneficial for you in the long run but waiting for the results will be too late to save that particular plant. It needs help now. Remove the older, larger yellow leaves as they will die anyway and give it a good dose of a well balanced fertilizer. Dave...See MoreAdelaide (Z8b Canada)
