Thanks, Feldon. Growth inhibitors? Wow. I don't know what growth inhibitors are, but I'm pretty sure I don't want them on my tomato plants.

But does that explain the dark green color? Of course I don't know that the nitrogen caused that. It was more or less a question I had. Magnesium? Iron? I don't know.
