| I checked the 'Problem Solver" thread and still cant seem to get a grasp on what I have.
These seedlings are about 12 weeks old, have been outside hardening off gradually for the last 2 and a half weeks. They are growing in Pro-Mix and have been for the past 9 weeks or so.
So is this something they can possibly grow out of, the plants themselves are pretty healthy looking where there are no spots. Hope I included enough info, but if not let me know.... Sorry about the picture quality, I had to use my cell phone as I cannot for the life of me find the charger to my camera. |

| Environmental glitch. They could use larger pots or go into the ground, with protection if needed. Beyond that, they look very pale. If you haven't fertilized at all or for a while, please do so. |

| Thanks Jean. I have potted them up into larger pots for a stop gap measure until the weather settles down enough to get them into the garden. I have also given them a diluted dose of Miracle Grow. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get them into the garden by Wednesday.... this cold snap has gotten my nerves on edge, I can hardly believe we have a freeze warning up for tonight. But that's New England weather for ya! Thanks Again for the help. Oh and on a side note, I picked off the worst of the spotted foliage on Saturday , and so far no new spots have appeared, I am hoping this is good news. |

| I'm having this exact same problem right now. I can't see any insects, just the discoloration and spots. It has been rainy and colder than usual for a week or so. They have been in the ground 2 weeks after some hardening off. Will a perk up in temp help them? Elsewhere I have seen a suggestion they might need nitrogen. My soil is raised beds all new and improved, organic, lots of compost, etc.. Suggestions? |

| lolear, If yours look the same, they definitely need fertilizer. |
|
| I am all organic. Will kelp help? More compost? |
|
| Mine grew out of it in about two weeks once they were in the ground and the weather warmed up. A Fish and kelp based fertilizer will definitely help. |
|
| Hope you found your charger. Look for one on Ebay if you haven't found it. ~greg |

| Good idea Greg...I never even thought to do that :) |
