Yup, fungus gnats! :eek:
They screw with roots too and eat them, so despite what people will tell you, they do interfere with healthy growth and can kill seedlings off easily as well. :(
Sorry...

Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
I get those, I think they are called soil gnats. They haven't done much harm to anything growing in the soil, I think they feed on the organic matter in the soil and not anything growing.
Hope this...

Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
It's ok Kevin, because when I first got my light systems I learned the hard way too about having plant leaves too close to the bulb. :eek:

Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
The leaf that had the mark on it...was this the leaf closest to the bulb?
I'm not saying this is the reason for certain yet though...that's what I'm trying to figure out. ;)

Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
Did those spots start after you got your new light?
Is it possible the light was too close to the leaves, because those look similar to burn marks to me. Did you wet the leaves and then put the...

No, we can't get citrus legally from out of state. You'll have to find someone in state. If you have any good friends at your local nursery they might be able to order it for you. Just a...

Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
Tbaleno...
It's because that's how I want mine to look and I've removed the lower leaves. It also makes more room in my window for other plants but mostly it because I like the look of it. ;)
