So I have several pepper plants roughly 1-1.5 tall. I plan on transplanting these in a few raised beds and pots in about 2 weeks. I've been picking flowers off of them for about 3 weeks now, but now several of them have more than 20-30 flowers on them. I honestly feel like they're too small to...

  That's why I said "sufficient" amount, and not "excessive" amount. My point was that if the media is lacking nitrogen, and you feed it a fertilizer that has nitrogen in it, but less than what the plant normally needs, and had a "sufficient" amount of phosphorus (just as much as the plant...

Considering Blister was talking about growing in Coco, the Bloom and Veg technique wouldn't be reliant upon the assumption that plants selectively up take nutrients. Since there's little to no nutrients in Coco, it seems like using the Bloom or Veg would force the plant to take up more or less...

  Farthest along as in taller than the rest of the plants and so closer to the light?

  I wouldn't think so. That's what I'm using. The only one's that have had the same leaf curl are the ones that got too close to the light or that the fan was pointed directly at.

  He's had a fan on them set on medium. That's why I mentioned that it is probably a transpiration problem (transpiring too much).

  Well like a said, too much Calcium and Magnesium can cause a Potassium deficiency. Doesn't mean there isn't enough Potassium in the soil. Just that it is interfering with the uptake. I don't think that's your problem though. I stand by what I said first. The plant is transpiring too much. More...

I'd also like to mention, if it is a nutrient deficiency, it would be Potassium, and so adding a bunch of Calcium, Magnesium, and/or Sodium will only skew the Potassium uptake. The best way to tell if it is indeed a Potassium deficiency is to help the plant to slow down perspiration (lower fan...

  Mine seemed to rebound fairly quickly. I would say 90% improvement after 2-3 days. I may be completely wrong, but setting the fan on a lower setting isn't going to have any adverse effect on them like adding fertilizer could if they don't need it, or even if over feeding is the issue in the...

  Idk. Medium seems a little high. A plant in the ground or in a larger container outside is going to handle it better than one inside in a smaller container. Plus, for the most part, I would almost guarantee that the wind outside is going to be calmer and less frequent than an oscillating fan...

Could this be a chlorine issue? Are you using city water?

Are you using a fan? Could be from too much wind, or lack of wind (not enough air exchange). A few of mine are doing the same. My fan is set a little too high. I'd rather have curled leaves than I pot full of fungus knat larvae. The fans seem to keep them at bay right not, but definitely seem to...

I ran into this same issue with several of mine. I was definitely over watering and had kept them in the seed starting trays for a little longer than I should have also. I decided it was leaf spot (could be totally wrong) and ended up throwing away most of the plants that had it because it...

So here are the unlucky contestants to get topped for the season for my experiment. I hope this hurts some of you too see just as much as it hurt me to do it..

Well after a quick google search, it looks like the Turkish snake and Corbaci are the same pepper.

The corbaci is from Turkey as well. It may be the same variety as the Aci Sivri or the Turkish snake, but different name for it? Not sure.

This is an example of what I was talking about. This Cayenne hasn't been topped.

Thanks for the link! After reading through a lot of the posts, I'm more confused than I was before though lol. It seems like most people assume topping causes side shoots. I have side shoots on plants that I haven't topped. Isn't that the way a pepper plant naturally grows? I can understand the...

They're all potted up and enjoying their first dose of organic sunshine (it's an overcast day so I don't think it'd be too strong for them). The older plants I had concerns about in an earlier post are doing much better since I've laid off on the ferts. I had one more hit by leaf spot, but I...

By the way, those are some awesome looking plants nz!
