[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1131525, member: 16552"] Sounds like they're not uptaking the phosphorus even though the soil contains sufficient levels. I would try adding calcium to improve the uptake of the phosphorus. I use oyster shell or bone meal because I always have them around. The bone meal will increase phosphorus however. Are you growing any other cucurbits, or anything else for that matter, that is/are exhibiting similar signs of phosphorus or calcium deficiency? Your sandy soil could be causing some problems with nutrient availability as well. Add denser organic material whenever you can. [/QUOTE]
