I am a little unsure but it may be two possible scenarios one masking the other. Firstly, It may be a Boron deficientcy, this micro nutrient required in minute quantities, over use is a really problem make sure if you use only apply up to the recommended quantity and NO MORE. Secondly Low nitrogen levels inconjuction with heat in a micro situation. Please let me know how things progress for you. Seasol may help?
