just started growing herbs


Question
I just bought 3 plants a month ago. However, my mint is getting brown spots, and the leaves on my sage are getting brown and crinkly. What am I doing wrong?

-I have a grow light on from 10-4 or so (no good window with light avaliable)
-i replanted the plants in miracle grow potting soil.

thanks:)

Your plants need the outdoor sunlight. The should be hardy enough to take the temps if it stays above 45 degrees. The indoor location will kill them. The miracle grow soil may be too strong for the herbs indoors. They need a slow organic fertilizer like liquid fish fertilizer. Prune off all the spotted leaves and give the outdoor location with full morning sun. They should start producing new growth.
