Looks more like a nutrient deficiency to me.

Can you give them a dose of epsom salts?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I would if I could find where I've put the packet. I've never seen them take such as nasty turn so fast. I'm really not happy with this Been and Queued compost, my squash are in much the same sort of state.

I'd be inclined to give them a general-purpose liquid feed in case they are starved of more than just magnesium, but keep the epsom salts standing by................
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I fed comfrey Monday night - but they have only been in that compost for 2 weeks, it shouldn't be exhausted already.

Just been to B&Q and they don't have any Epsom salts - plenty of £4 peppers though.

As JayG says, good general purpose fertiliser would be a good idea.

I've just gone and given them a dose of miracle grow.  Both at pot level and a quick foliar feed now the suns gone in. Hope that picks them up.

Might see if I can find a GC tomorrow and get some more epsom salts - bet the old packet turns up then  ::)
