Hey all! So I have started a small scale personal garden of mine in my closet about a month ago. It is really low budget, but super stealth. It's more of a hobby than anything substantial. Well, I think I am running into minor phosphorus problems. I am using just some miracle grow potting soil and plant food, so it's nothing fancy. I was hoping you guys could shed some light on the situation.
A couple of pics,
As you can see, the edges are turning a bit brown, and the stems are purple. I'm not sure if the stem color has anything to do with the leaves, but I suspect it does. I have watched the browning of the leaves spread slowly over the last week or so. This seems to be a Phosphorus problem if I had to guess. It is possible that I over fertilized, but I have since removed almost all of the little fertilizer pellets. I try keep the soil lightly moist, but I never over or under water. Any ideas?
