Chilli leaves turning shiny-brown! Pls help!

9 years ago

Hi folks

I'm a newbie chili grower and I've just discovered that my prized plants seem to be dying - or atleast going through something aweful! :-/

Background:

My plants are growing indoors in a controlled environment. All has been going well and I've repotted them on numerous occasions as they grown.

The most recent re-potting has done something to them as their leaves are turning a shiny brown colour from the tip inwards. I don't know if its a fertilizer burn or over watering...?

The potting mix I used was (per mix batch):
9 scoops potting soil
3 scoop seedling soil mix
3 scoops perlite
1 scoop vermiculite
2 pinches bone meal

I potted them on a warm day in the sun and watered them only once till water drained out of the pot and then left them. They haven't been watered since (+- 5days) and are back indoors.

Any advice, solutions or hope?
Thanks!
