 ===== Notes & Contradictions ===== ===== Notes & Contradictions =====
 While Chris Cosby suggested the symptoms could potentially be a mix of temporary calcium deficiency and the fungal pathogen //Bipolaris//, community authority Gee Bee clarified that the absence of hyphae on the affected tips points to a purely abiotic cause. When diagnosing tip damage, the lack of fungal structures combined with low soil pH confirms a calcium lockout rather than a biotic infection. While Chris Cosby suggested the symptoms could potentially be a mix of temporary calcium deficiency and the fungal pathogen //Bipolaris//, community authority Gee Bee clarified that the absence of hyphae on the affected tips points to a purely abiotic cause.
