Rust

The edges of the upper leafs of my seedlings are kinda reddish brown and there are faint green spots on the leaves. I think I over fertilized, or is it something else.

How about a picture or more info.

Or how about checking the problem chart I posted.

Sounds like copper or manganese deficiency or surplus, or something. Since you say fertilized, I assume you are growing in dirt. If it is a fert surplus you need to flush like crazy with PH adjusted water, let the dirt almost completely dry out, then start again with 1/4 strength ferts and slowly increase until you see signs of stress again, then back off a little.

I don't know why that problem chart isn't in the FAQ's. I didn't invent it or first post it and I don't care who gets credit for it. It is not originally from this web site but who cares, if it is by far more helpful than anything else offered here.

I keep seeing people posting the same lame-ass questions over and over, with no pictures or info, thus wasting everyones time. Sure it's fun to communicate, but 90% of the questions could be answered if people looked at that chart first.

Moderators? Anyone?

I advise everyone to find that chart and make a copy on their computer.
