Basil Problems

18 years ago

Hello, first time posting here. I'm new to gardening and such, got interested because I'm a chef and wanted fresh herbs around for cheaper at home. I built my own hydroponic system which works fantastically.

However, today, I noticed two of my 5 sweet basil plants had leaves with black/brownish colored (or perhaps colorless) spots on them. They are on the edges of the leaves and currently are on the top set of leaves. I trimmed off the worst leave and took a picture. Here's the link to the picture.

It seems to be new and hasn't spread far at all. But if its fungi/bacterial I would like to stop it ASAP. Same with a nutrient problem. I am currently using a 10-15-10 liquid nutrient, and the temperature in the room is consistently 65-70 degrees.

As far as any other symptoms, I looked very closely for any other signs. Only other things I could see were, one of the bottom leaves on the other plant, had a medium pinhead size yellow/white dot in the middle of it. And another leave had two dots that are reddish/copper colored, and also small sized.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
