Brown Leaf Edge Disease/Pests?

Troubleshooting Diseases

Hi Folks,
Can someone help me identify what’s going on with my seedlings started from my garage with LED light?

I have a lot of flying insects like gnats and perhaps fruit flies that have been attracted to my recently started worm bin inside my garage and to my grow light.

It looks like something started to eat my leaves and now the leaves and edges are turning brown. It’s like whatever started to eat my leaves started a disease on my plants.

As of now, I’m treating with Neem Oil for the leaves for the flying insects and moved the plants outdoors away from the bin. However, the garage is where I start all of my new seedlings and my wormies are here to stay.

ALOHA,
Eric

Hard to say, but the spotting on leaves could also be from neem oil. Usually if mixed a little too strong or applied heavily.

The neem oil can burn. In direct sunlight. I cooked 3 plants with neem oil. 2 survived one went male on me. Might rethink starting them off in the worm factory environment?

I started spraying with Neem oil after these photos were taken but I will be more aware of applications.

Yups, looks like I will need to somehow relocate my wormies to a new location. Worm farming can be an addiction too watching all your food scraps disappear and turn into fert gold.
