I've been off and on getting these pots to grow right. I'm normally an outdoor grower who's having a hard time with potted grow.
I recently moved my Jalapeno, basil, P. Viridis (rainforest shrub), rosemary, cat grass, and some flower I'm in sure of, in to my garage with a t5 grow lamp, and space heater for the winter. Prior I started seeing some spotting, I learned it's over watering. Then I ran into a fungus gnats problem. I sprayed neem oil and copper based once a week/bi-weekly, apple cider, quit watering as often, yellow sticky paper, and now have added a fan.
I normally water now once every week. Tomorrow, I'm re-potting the plants with new soil, mixed with a small mix of verm to help retain water and perlite to keep the mixture loose. After potting I'll add about 1.5-2 in of sand to prevent fungus and other gnats to take..... Root. (Since sand is difficult to harbor organics)
But I've been battling these yellow spots/brown tips for a while now and I cannot for the life of me figure this one out. I'd like to figure this out before I move to the next step of greenhouse then to aquaponic.
I'd appreciate any and all help!
