Ok then to avoid all the trouble with the ph and the questionable compost im just gonna do what i said in the last post and start over. Definitely gonna try bigger container for the spinach and okra. Thank you all for the help and input! Hopefully i ll have a positive update in 2 weeks.

DirtMechanic is right, your pH is way too low; your growing medium may have all the nutrients it needs, but they will not be available to the plants. Add a couple of handfuls of woodash in addition to Chuck's amendments.

So after two weeks of restarting and mixing jobes organic vegetable and tomato fert. Into all the container mix i have the peas and okra are doing great and a much darker shade of green (i know overcrowded but i will thin). I notice in the past 2 weeks my already established and productive bell and cayenne pepper plant have started to turn yellowish aswell. I assume it is the same issue so i gave them jobes but it only caused them to produce a massive amount of flowers and fruit. I believe this is caused by the jobes tom fert.'s very high phosphorus (2-7-4 i prefer the 2-5-3 but amazon sent me the wrong one for some reason). I watered in a .75-1 gallon mixed with tbsp of 5-1-1 fish emulsion between the two plants yesterday to see if the nitrogen would green them up but minimal change or none occured. Is they're anything i could do to fix this?
