I started adding DTPA and Ferrous Gluconate to my CSM+B solution. It's been two weeks and I'm noticing a difference. Plants that were looking a little whitish/pale are now green.

I didn't think this would matter, since my ph is low enough to use the EDTA in CSM+B. I just noticed @GreggZ and @Burr740 both seem to use both, so I figured I would give it a shot.

Currently using
4:1:1
CSM+B : DTPA : Ferrous Gluconate

Decided to throw up a post about it, anyone else do this?
 
Iron deficiency starts in the newest leaves first. Leaves will begin to grow in paler than they should be but will be of normal size and shape.

This is consistent with what I was seeing.
