Default [IBC] honeylocust seedlings dying

Of those,
honeylocusts were the only ones that didn't need a cold stratification
period.

They're about 8-12 inches tall. They were a nice green color until just a
few days ago. The leaves are now yellow white with dark green dots. There
also appears to be cobwebs around the leaves.


I am sure Dr. Nina can be specific, but it sounds like mites. I am
not sure what you could safely use on seedlings indoors to kill them, but you
might try a weak solution of soap. There are things such as "Safer" soaps made
for plants, but if you want you can try a tablespoon of dish detergent in a
gallon of water. Might kill the plants.
Plants grown indoors and tightly packed frequently suffer from disease
and insect problems that don't bother them otherwise because of the stress.
