Hey all question,
I recently had to move my peppers inside because the nights were hitting 45 degrees only peaking at 70 tops by 3 in the afternoon (damn Pennsylvania). However I am starting to notice that seemingly healthy leaves are falling off fairly easily if brushed against. What would be the primary culprit after only a few days inside?
The plants are currently in my unfinished basement under some generic shop lights while my grow lights are en route. Problem is they will not be here for at least a week. I have not been watering them since the soil seems a moderate wetness and do not want to over-saturate them. I also sprayed for aphids using an organic oil based spray and it seems to have killed off any remaining buggers. This leads me to believe it is either a light or temp issue but maybe I am wrong? Could it simply be shock?
