    This just started today...All of the lower leaves have light green spots on them and are very dry.
    Anyone know what's causing this?

  2. well...from what ive experienced the lower leaves sometimes fall off. as long as the rest of your leaves look ok then you should be alright.
     
  3. Take some pictures of the whole plant. Sometimes lower leaves will yellow with lack of light or because they are at the bottom and get a lot of nutes passing through them to the top of the plant. I've plucked these leaves with no problems. As long as its confined to a few leaves, you are fine. Just pinch em off with your finger.
     
  4. I have heard others ask this same question on other sites a couple of times. Nobody seems to know exactly what the disease/issue is. Some think a magnesium deficiency, but others not. The only useful thing I found was that sprinkling the affected leaves with gardener's sulfur seemed to stop the problem. The affected leaves remained crappy looking, but whatever the problem was didn't spread to any other leaves. If sulphur can treat it, it leads me to believe it is some type of bacteria or mold. Hope this helps.....
