As an intro, I'm one season deep on any kind of gardening, so be gentle and kind. Last winter I went through the process of starting a few seeds and planned a container garden for the coming spring/summer. This simple task has turned into a much larger obsession on growing plants, peppers etc. I was successful at getting a multitude of pepper plants to grow and fruit in my garden, namely Jalapeno, Carolina Reaper, Bell/Sweet Peppers, etc. Mostly 2-3 plants in 5 gallon containers, a mix-match of fabric pots and standard plastic pots.
Flash forward, I could let a few of my favorite die over the winter and decided I needed to build a grow space indoors. That began the process of getting a 4x4x7 indoor tent, inline fan for cooling and a few LED lights. (2x600w & 1x960w) for the tent... I cut back my Caroline Reaper plants (2) which were beautiful when I pruned them for storage. Since then, they have grow a whole new set of leaves, very nice and green until recently, when I began to see discoloration. I've been using Fish Emulsions once a month and watering until saturated every 2 weeks. Today, I went into my tent, and found discolored foliage (attached).
Temp in the tent ranges from 60 when dark to 80 peak when lights are on for while. Lights are on 16, off 8 off cycle. I've been using regular tap water aired out with a bubble stone for 24/48 hours.
Any suggestions or just let it ride and see what happens?
