Looks like a Panamanian Jungle.  Beautiful!

I figure if I only shower once a week, nobody can bitch at me for how much I water my peppers.  El Niño will have our back this winter.  ;)

What are the awesome saucer-shaped orange ones?  I'm obsessed with these types of pepper shapes after seeing them in a Puerto Rico!

Could it be a long lost cousin of BLS?  Anyone ever get these mini black spots before?

Hey Grant...  thanks for the response.   I did search the web and found some photos that looked like what's happening with mine, while others appeared to have much larger lesions.  At first I thought maybe it could be a CaMG+ overdose.. The symptoms however, seem to match what happens with BLS...

Here's where i'm at now... again, hoping to squeak by without the BLS getting my fruits at least for 1 good harvest.   Aji Limon:   Trinidad Scorpion "Sunrise"     Scotch Bonnet (supposedly): 

I'm pretty sure it's gotta be Bacterial Leaf Spot (BLS) - most of my plants are getting these little dark spots and on the Aji Limon it's starting to make the bottom leaves droop / yellow / drop.   I've removed the most infected leaves, and the plants are getting thinner by the day from...

Hey guys, I'm not sure if there's a sub-forum for these requests, but could someone recommend me where I could get some official MOA scotch bonnet seeds?  Thanks! -Joe

Well, once you get Thrips - it's not too late.   :)   I've gotten a pretty good handle on those pests with the combination of Spinosad and Sticky Blue traps placed in the yard.  Turns out the abandoned house next door who has an overgrowth of weeds is most likely the breeding ground for those...

  I was under the impression that there were both Aerobic and Anaerobic tea methods, the latter often synonymous with "manure" or "classic".  While there certainly seem to be benefits to the Oxygen + Molasses method, is there any proof that there is a hazard keeping things oldschool with just...

If i head up that way sometime maybe we can make a trade, fresh kelp for some of those Trinidad seeds you got... :)

Absolutely, I would just be careful with that as per California law: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/pdfs/response/kelp.pdf   I find it strange that you would need a fishing license though?  Why, because they are microscopic ocean organisms within he plant matter... lol.    

Found some more on the topic of rinsing..   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaweed_fertiliser     And: http://www.gardensalive.com/product/feeding-your-soil-with-seaweed/   Regardless, i'll still run a test as per your suggestion just to be sure.   :)

      Just use grocery fabric bags.. i'm sure they are all over Europe and cheap?  Maybe Edeka has them? Ask this guy:  

  The resulting liquid fertilizer would be diluted 20 to 1, still think that's too much salt? Not in the mood to start over again but I will if it's absolutely necessary.    

  From what I gather it's no different than the process of a compost tea.. just using seaweed.  Pretty sure plants don't discriminate based on smell either :)  

I would say so ColdSmoke... pretty straightforward.   Recently we had a few storms that blew in a bunch of kelp making it super easy to harvest (literally mountains of it washed right up in the shallows).  I decided i'd like to make some liquid kelp fertilizer by fermenting it in a bucket...

What a beauty.  How old is that plant tree?  

Love that chart, but since you posted it maybe you could point out which deficiency it relates to?   :whistle:

I agree with this... notice the discoloration is sitting within crevices - almost like fertilizer or pesticide saturated the leaves and could possibly have been "baked in".
