| Ok so of course I grew too many seedlings... I have some nice ones too... Indian stripe, kellogs Breakfast, Cherrokee choclate, sungolds, etc. I wanted to give some away to friends but I have these yellow spots on the sporadic leaves (not all... usually one leaf on a plant and maybe a few plants not all of them). I had a overwintered eggplant nearby that suffered from what I think was spider mites. (I have aggressively treated this plant). Do you think its ok to give away seedlings with these spots on it? |

| Looks like just a little sunburn to me. Check them for spider mites first before giving them away. |

| They look ok to me. Tell the person you plan on gifting them to that they should quarantine them for a week or two before planting them. I do this with any plants that I buy, or that are gifted to me. Oh and the big one that attacks egg plants is not spider mites it is flea beetles. They leave holes in the leaves like no tomorrow. I had an egg plant that had them. I planted it far away from everything else in a guerilla hole. The weather killed it right as it was starting to set some good eggplants. It grew like mad anyhow. |

| They look OK other than seemingly suffering from : ---- Insufficient light OR ANY COMBINATON OF THE ABOVE. |

| Thanks Seysonn.... definitely not too much water... I learned my lesson from last year... but I am probably guilty of the other two... I have added more lights but probably will need more As for nutrients I always thought if I grew them in 30-50% compost I would be ok but I have just bought some fish emulsion and liquid seaweed and plan on making a dilute solution to feed them today. Hopefully its not to late.. I have one more month to go. |
