Noticed this today, likely started in the last two days. Plants are being grown indoors under a fairly strong light and moderate temperatures. I have been watering from the bottom only and feeding at half strength once per week. I have applied neem oil and a small amount of dish soap to the plants once a fortnight.
I have been trying to remove aphids as they arrive which could be a vector for disease but I haven’t been able to protect all plants. I do not notice all plants having aphids, but maybe some diseases can travel through the shared water in the bottom of the tray.
It will be too late for me to start these again now but I’d still like to know what to do in future and if there’s anyway to cure it.

The problem with aphids is they are very difficult to spot when there’s only a few on a plant and unfortunately by the time we do spot them they have already done damage. We don’t see aphids on our plants when they’re indoors until we start putting them outside. We pour boiling water over our potting soil we use indoors, not sure if that’s the reason we don’t see aphids indoors.
On a side note, the soil looks like there might be algae on the surface of the soil indicating they might have been excessively wet.
