Minor sputter..
Bloodmeal is normally used for nitrogen suppliment cornmeal smells better,
(n= 9)
Best suppliments for Magnesium
problems are Epsom Salts MG SO4 or Dolomitic lime MG and Calcium
Carbonate
Manure and compost contain MG
Miricale grow does not..
However Mg problems are seldom found in seedlings.
Odds in a pot are, pot bound, excessive water or excessive nitrogen.
Chiles are very happy with a very scant touch of nitrogen, Like N = 2 or 3
( as in sea blend) There is a
seed starting liquid fertilizer aka Miricale Grows 4-12-4 (Quick Start)
or Dragon 3-12-4 that chiles seem to like better.
Dr Boalands Agronomist suggested that after blossom no nitrogen but get
some extra phosphate to your chiles.

Hi Matthew,
Yellow leaves normally indicates a shotage of magnesium.
Or they have 'wet feet', with this I mean that to much water and that the
soil don't get the time to dry.
The magnesium shortage you can solve by using... we call this 'bloedmeel'
and translated to english would be bloodflour, no idea if this is the
correct translation.. any one?
Or use a fertilizer with high Mg. concentrate.
hot regards
