Hello guys, noobie grower here on my first grow. I just recently spotted a brown spot on one of the lower leaves on one of my plants. Don't really know what it could be so i'm hoping someone on here might know.
Recently i just transplanted it because it is the largest fastest growing plant that i have and the solo cups i germinated them in had too little medium (homemade worm castings). They were all doing well in the worm castings but the medium i transplanted the plant to was infested with gnats. I was able to kill most with diatomaceous earth but some did survive and i spotted one and a larva (larva was killed) after transplant.
New medium is a mixup of roughly 1/3 coco fiber, 1/3 pumice rock, 1/3 compost, and amended with 4 cups of dry nutrients. 2 cups of 4--4-4, 1/2 cup bat guano, 1/2 cup gypsum, 1/2 cup dolomite lime.
Have not kept track of how much i've been watering but i watered pretty much everytime the top of the soil was dry.. More or less. Used tap water that was left sitting in open container. Wasn't ph'ed or amended in any way.
I have mainly kept them in the sunlight that comes through the windows of my home. I have a grow light and tent but they're too inefficient for only six surviving seedlings to use (electricity is expensive where i live) so only on cloudy days do i use them. They get roughly 12-14 hours of light each day, with maybe 6-8 hours of direct sunlight everyday.
Sorry for the long post guys but i'm just trying to explain all that i've done.
