Could be from over watering maybe?  That soil looks pretty wet.

  Have you calibrated your PH meter recently?  Also, could try lowering that to the 5.7 range.

It might be too early to tell, but my new growth is looking better.  I've been running half strength and stopped using grow.  I probably should not have changed two variables at once.     Switched from: 1-1/2-1 tsp Micro-Grow-Bloom 1/2 tsp Calmag+   To: 1/2-0-3/4 tsp GH Flora 1/4 tsp Calmag+    

I've got a similar issue on my coco plants using GH Flora and Calmag+ at 5.7 PH.  That would support Blister's theory.  Still battling it. I thought it was related to a springtail infestation but now I'm not so sure.  I'm cutting back to half strength for a while to see if anything changes.      

Sweet! I'm going to pick some up tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.

The plants are growing large in coco, but I'm having a hell of a time with springtails on my Carolina reaper.  They are everywhere in the coco and had a ton of leaf drop.  I've been bottom watering to dry out the top but it doesn't seem to phase them.       Video here...

Up-potted my CARDI Scotch Bonnet and Scotch Bonnet Brown today.    

  Nice, I'll have to give that a try!

  Good to know about the perlite.  I haven't tried straining the coco yet either.     Some of them are overwintered, a few kratky tomatoes, and a mini ebb and flow system with tomato and CARDI Scotch Bonnet.  I overwintered my Thai, Trinidad Perfume, Bishops Hat, Bhut Jolokia, and a few...

  Thanks Neil!  I started the Reaper in coco first and the Fatali and Brainstrain a few weeks later at the same time.  Its incredible how much faster chili's grow in coco compared to soil.  I am going to try a coco/perlite mix with the Scotch Bonnets.

I decided to give coco coir a shot back in January based on all the success that Blister has had and posted on this forum.     This is what I am planning for coco this year: 1x Carolina Reaper (seeds from pepperlover.com) 1x Fatali (seeds from pepperlover.com) 1x Brain Strain (seeds from...

Approximately 240 ppm and a PH of 7.7 at my place in Montana. 

The only thing that worked for me was insecticidal soap, but that's a chemical solution.  It also set my plant back for quite a while.  

I have the exact same problem.  I have been trying to germinate my brown moruga seeds since October (multiple attempts) with no luck.  

    Awesome, thanks for the advice.  I'm not sure why I was under the impression that I needed to flush every few feedings.  I must have mixed coco up with soil.   Color seems to be coming back with more regular feedings.
