I have been growing a lot of basil plants this year (30) and all was going fine until this week when they started producing yellow leaves. At first, I thought it might be an iron deficiency but this couldn't happen to this many plants at the same time. I am now thinking that I might have overfed it. I bottom-fed it with 6-3-10 tomato feed on the 9th and again on the 18th of April. Within a day or two I started to notice the yellowing on new leaves. I put a small pinch of sulfate of iron around each plant a few days ago but I don't think this is the problem It's now been 9 days. What should I do if anything?
