Hi everyone
I had a quick search around but couldn't find pics of exactly this happening to others so I hope I'm not repeating someone else's question. Today I noticed a bunch of small black holes on both my Reaper leaves - one more than the other. They grow next to a bunch of other plants in the same conditions - orange and chocolate bhuts, morugas, fatalis, etc, and only these two plants got these holes on them.
We did have a lot of rain in the last 48 hours so I'm guessing that might be because of too much water. I did feed them with 7-4-10 but that was a week ago, i don't do it more often than once a week. The soil does have a lot of sand in it so it does drain relatively well, when it stops raining that is.
Here are pics of the leaves on the worst one (this one is also more exposed to the rain, the other Reaper is slightly more sheltered):
I also found a bunch of these flies sitting on leaves and they flew off as I touched the plants - I sprayed everything with a mild soapy water afterwards jsut in case. Is there anything else I should do about them? Would they be causing these black spots? Although they were sitting on all plants (maybe 2-3 per plant) but only the Reapers are affected at this point.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
By the way I have 3 more reapers from the same batch of seeds inside a greenhouse and they are all without any spots, they ofcourse only get watered as they are meant to be.
