I moved my plants inside about 2 months ago now. these plants were super healthy and doing awesome outside on my deck all summer and after about 3 - 4 weeks in my basement they started going bad. The bottoms of the leaves started getting crystal looking bumps on them which I determined looked like edema from my research. I added a fan and dehumidifier and it seemed to clear them up a little but not 100%. I then decided to do a foliage spray with epsom salt because the leaves looked like they were lacking magnesium. I obviously followed the wrong advice and mixed 2 table spoons in a quart and completely drenched the leaves, top and bottom... the next morning after drying all the leaves had dried up salt looking spots all over them and about 3 days later they were shriveling up, getting burnt tips and falling off. I have been spraying them with pure RO water about 3 times a day and the salt has washed off but some of the leaves still look pretty rough and the plants have not been growing new foliage much at all. They are still flowering and putting out peppers tho so they haven't completely shut down. they get Age old bloom organic fertilizer on schedule with recommended dose. someone on another forum said I should do a foliage spray with kelp.Â
Â
that is a picture a couple days after the spray and how the leaves looked as the fell off.
Â
that is a week before the spray and you can see the bumps on the tops of the leaves and how the new foliage has a light green color and fades into the healthy looking green.

That is the potted Dragon Cayenne 2 weeks after I moved it into the basement.
Â
Â
that is about 2 months in and a couple days after the spray. you can see all the little bumps under the leaves.
Â
Â
and there is my basement so far. 600 watt HPS, dehumidifier and fan. It isn't the prettiest so far, I'm planning on epoxying the floor, venting the light out because it gets about 87 degrees in there and possibly putting a sealant on the drywall to keep the moisture from building up and creating molds and pests. when its done it should look pretty clean and hopefully the plants will be healthier.
Â
so anyone that sees any problems there let me know what you think and let me in on any suggestions  on things you think I should do or change.
Â
Thanks
