I have yellow spots within the leaves, is this a lack of nitrogen or is it some kind of fungus?

sometimes it also indicates a need for magnesium

How much magnesium to add, I had tilled in sul-po-mag in the patch this year... it was 0-0-22.. i saw some mg at walmart so i guess i will pick some up there.
thanks,

Some yellow spots are genetic and don't appear to cause any harm.

Don't add mg just to add mg. My soil is very high in mg and I get yellow spots.

Probably due to over watering, usuall happens to my first few leaves as I have a clay base soil that stays really wet.

The mysterious chlorophyl deficiency. Sunshine & time usually clears this up...but not always.

I have the same issue, I think. It seems to start on the tip of the leaf with a few yellow spots. My diary does show a picture with that problem.

One question for the group: I was told no more than 1 gallon of water a week when the plant is young. Now you can see my plant on my diary here: http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=86499
Whe is it time to give it more water? Now the temperature is getting into the nineties, here during the day.

Thanks you and happy gardening from Colorado
