My stevia plant started browning at the ends. The other plants don't have this. I tried attaching a picture of the plant and 1 of the system. We'll see if they come out right. I shouldn't be missing nutrients but then I don't really have a way of measuring trace nutrients. My lights might too close, but the other plants haven't shown this, yet anyway. Yes everything is tall, insufficient light. I started with 4 T-8 bulbs for lights. Then changed to 8 T-5 high output. Temperature of a thermometer under the light is about 75 f This system is 100% indoor. 1 pea gravel bed, flood drain 2 pipes, basically NFT Feeder gold fish, tetra, snails in the fish tank underneath Its been a fun experiment.

Hardware store just started stocking stevia and when I went back a week later many of the pots had been stripped of leaves from everyone sampling a taste. Sorry no help to you though |

Ya, I had to sample a leaf. Then I was telling everyone else. Oh ya gotta try this. I'm not surprised at all that the store plants were barren. Haha |

The leaves do look a little anaemic, might be lacking something, though generally that sort of brown dying patches in leaves is a fungal or bacterial problem.. |
