I’m seeing lots of browning and yellowing on my lemon balm. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it fungal, overwatering, or lack of light? I have a grow light and it has good drainage.

Lemon Balm plants need lots of sunlight and regular fertilizer. Slowly get it acclimated to sitting in at least 8 hours of sunlight. They are food crops and need to be replanted if you buy it in the starter nursery pots.

When are you watering it? If too late and too hot in the day it could be burning the leaves same thing happened to mine

It’s inside so they shouldn’t be too impacted by heat plus it’s quite cool outside here in the fall

Hm that is strange perhaps over/under watering?
