Sorry for the blurry photo, my phone doesn't focus well. This morning as I was watering my basil I saw these new brown spots. I tried touching it, to see if it was slimy. It's not, it's still hard. I've always read that basil is a really thirsty plant so I made sure to water everyday, sometimes two times a day. Especially since the top leaves are still a bit wrinkly. It doesn't really help, that even though it's been a month since I transplanted it, it hasn't really grown at all. I live in the tropics, so our sun has been quite harsh for the last few days.

    You’re over watering. Jam your finger deep into the soil, if damp dont water, if dry water

    When you underwater, your plants get all dramatic and wilt. When you overwater, your plants get all dramatic and die.

    Yellow of leaving with tons of moisture in the soil is overwatering. It’s hard to come back from if you overdo it as it impedes the plants uptake of nutrients. Can’t get better if you aren’t eating.
