yeah this happens quite a lot, i grow my peppers in my balcony where it can easily get 35 degrees celsius (95 Fahrenheit).  The start wilting @ 11:00 AM until @ 1:00 PM. Thats when the sun goes over my block and they return to normal. I also have a shade cloth if the prognosis indicates...

Id would personally remove the affected leaves if they bothered me that much, it would stimulate growth anyway.(depends on how many pepper plants u got) But its up to you. You could also see if it persists after that.

mhmhm isnt blight supposed to be a bit more aggressive and darker?

Mhmhmi just noticed yesterday that i have aphids too, white ones and black one.   Have no idea how they got into my balcony since its sealed off, maybe dormant in the soil? Infestation is mild.   So i just went out strolling through the neighborhood to get me some ladybugs, found around 30, it...

Heres a useful link:   http://www.gardening.cornell.edu/fruit/homefruit/5strawberries.pdf   Are your strawberries fine? Yours should be ripe by now, it takes roughly 3-4 weeks to ripen from flower to fruit. If those are Fragaria vesca hybrid/subspecies fruit will be smaller @size of you thumb nail.

why are people so hot on the superhots? I mean are they also really flavorful? also really like that one on the top left, thats some mad spread of the leaves, looks strong.

i have experienced the opposite, first peppers were huge(first 4 and they had huge seed sacks/deposits) and now they are small, these are thick cayenne peppers. Im assuming this is due to container size, mine are 3 gallons.

I made a obvious observation with ripening, the ones that started have a very thick stem/stalk connecting to the mail plant system.

my first thick cayenne just started ripening 3 days ago, almost has a full dark shiny red gloom, cant wait another 2-3 days to harvest it and eat it x). those also look good, cant wait for my jalapenos either.

this is absurd.....

can you cross pollinate with a qtip? anyway it wouldnt be 100% success

the plants look really good to me, then again its my first time growing peppers. Like how they are shinny/glossy/fresh looking.

What materials are the warehouse covers made from? by googling i ended up with polycarbonate but i saw it comes in sheets only but i also noticed that most warehouses wave a film of some kind way way thinner than a sheet. It looks like polyethene to me, is that correct?

humidity is alright im try to see the progression but it looks constant they wilt in the sun and then the leaves look perfect and stiff.
