This leaf is about 4 inches from a new CFL that does not emit heat like the grow light. Is it a burn, deficiency? Any Help.

I am now suspecting mosaic virus from when I had the aphid infestation.

Eco Smart is great for everything but spider-mite, neem oil seems better for those.

Ed, that sounds like you have mice.

I am suspicious of an insect.  I currently run a 1 gallon water with 1 tsp Maxicrop when I do a top up, about once a month.  These are new leaves, less than two weeks old.  I noticed similar yellowing on my Jalapeno plant next to it as well as snap peas on the other side of the bed.

I pulled a leaf off the jalapeno and held it to the light and there was a small little critter scurrying on it.  I did have a problem with Red or Brown Ambrosia Aphids, that wiped out my Habanero plants and inadvertently got inside the house where the grow beds are located.

My eyes with glasses still could not tell what it was.  So next has anyone used ECOSMART Organic insecticide? Main ingredients are

Rosemary Oil

Peppermint Oil

Thyme Oil

Clove oil

perhaps a K deficiency? It's not uncommon for older leaves on tomatoes to yellow and fade as the plant puts it;s energies to growing ,more plant materiel and producing fruit. I know nothing about aquaponics but in soil it would administer liquid sea-weed

Hi John,

Did you check the underside of the leaf? Maybe you have critters sucking the juices from the leaf.  

I seem to be having a lot of problems with bugs in my green house. They are eating all my broccoli and lettuce. I conducted a good inspection of the undersides of all plant leaves. However, I only found three green stink bugs which I dispatched right away. The fish would not eat them so I fed them to the worms. I don’t know what kind of bugs I have but they are cutting the leaves off my lettuce and broccoli.  They are also eating the apical meristem on broccoli and new sprouting seedlings. I recently let 1500 lady bugs loose in my green house just to make sure that I don’t get an infestation of bad bugs. Oh, and something is eating all my seeds from my seed germination trays. What ever it is it digs up the big seend like winter squash, mellons and pumkins. I have seed shells all over the place. Any help out there?
