Nice link, haven't came across that before.
 
will add potassium nitrate..as I don't have pressurised co2 system ,what will be the doses ?
 
Hi,

Do you know what else is in your fertilizer?

Assuming it's a nitrate deficiency, and ss your using liquid CO2, you could start by dosing 5 - 10 ppm potassium nitrate a week (you could split this in to 2 - 3 doses over the week) and see how you get on - you may need to adjust the dose but give it a few weeks then re-assess. There is some good information on non CO2/ liquid CO2 methods in this thread. Read through the whole thread there's some excellent advice in there.

Good luck sorting your problem.
 
Just to add, if you start adding some KNO3 as suggested above you will need to be patient. Don't expect any over night miracles, the affected leaves will still die off but look for new healthier growth over the next 3 or 4 weeks.
