Could it be that it is time for that leaf to be harvested?When did you last feed this plant before today's feeding? I am not an herb grower, but it looks like too many nutrients..either way,nutrients or maturity, I would snip it so the plant doesn;t send all the energy to that 1 leaf to try and heal it. Just my thoughts.

The last feeding was two weeks ago and I used 5ml. |

That also looks like too many nutrients to me - in my experience with basil, it likes to have very low nutrients. When doing Kratky containers, I normally use 1/2 or even 1/4 the amount of nutrients I would with other plants, and I've found that it grows better as a result.

I also have other herbs growing in this harvest slim. I would hate for them to suffer if I lower the nutrients more. Or maybe they will be OK? That is if the alge doesn't get them first. |

They should be fine, but it depends on what you're growing - if it's dill, thyme, parsley, etc - then they should all thrive with less nutrients. |

Two basils, parsley, Chives, Rosemary and thyme. I haven't tried growing rosemary yet, but the rest would all do great. I'd imagine rosemary would also thrive with less nutrients, but maybe get a second opinion on that one. |

I have a Harvest that always has different herbs in it. I always start off at 4ml and then go up no more then 6ml. My herbs seem to like that. As for the spots. I would snip the leaf and use it. If all the rest look fine then I would not worry.
