Ok, so I planted about 50 plants in the garden. I usually plant in containers, but this year decided to also try the garden. So far, all has been good til today. I got home to find 4 plants laying over. Upon inspection of the plants, I found that an area right at the base had been eaten...

Please refer to the images below. The first is of a strange yellowing of the newer growth, with very dark veins. Some of the old growth is beginning to show signs of this as well. The second pic is of small holes in the leaves, I think they were made by an insect...any idea what kind? I'm more...

Ok so what have I done wrong....I set out, in a 7 gal pot, a beautiful, healthy, tobasco plant. Within a couple of days, the bottom 7 or 8 leaves just fell off. They were still perfectly green and healthy looking laying on top of the promix. I touched a couple that were still on and they fell...

My wife went to pick up some Promix BX today from the local feed store, but it seems that they sold her Promix MPX instead. Anyone have any experience with this, is it as good as Promix BX? It was the same price as previous bales of BX that I have bought. Its in a black bag, 3.8 cubit feet...

Ok, so my plants are rebounding and doing pretty decent, getting pods off plants I thought a month ago were dying. So, yesterday I see this monster caterpillar on my Pepperoncini plant, but different than any I have seen before, it had these white things all over it....stuck to it. Any idea...

Took these yesterday morning from my plants that survived the damage from abandonment. A few of them really came back great, some didnt. Overall, I think a pretty good harvest. Time to pickle, cut and freeze...and best of all....salsa time...:-) Shane

All the leaves on this one plant are like this...very dark veins, light in between...any ideas? This is the only one of my plants like this, so far. Thanks Shane

These are my friends plants, and they look great....he gave me one of them also....no pods on it yet, but I was wondering do these look like Jolokias? To me, they dont look like the ones I have seen on the net, but then again I cant seem to find any real young pods...so maybe they get their...

I have always loved the rain, the more the better I have always thought...well, since getting into pepper growing I have quickly changed my mind....;-/. Since Friday we have gotten over 6.5 inches of rain, and its coming in a fashion where it is keeping the soil saturated nearly all the time and...

Does the new growth on my Bhut Jolokia look okay? To me it has the appearance of being too light and almost a yellowish, compared with other pepper plants I have growing. I hesitate to give it food, due to the dark green of the mature leaves...any thoughts at all? BTW, note the wind battered...

The morning low dropped to 38 F this morning....my plants are drooping, tops are hanging....the sun is on them now and the temp is up to 58 F....but they look pitiful...no frost damage, but this wilted look has me worried...will they recover? Thanks in advance. Shane

I have no idea what this is, and its killing my sons plants. Yesterday morning, they looked beautiful, last night, not so good, today, leaves falling off and this bubbly, yellowish stuff is on the underside of the leaves...the exposed side of the leaves on some of the plants look yellow in...

I planted these, and all had been well with them until last weekend. They were growing great, then suddenly the brakes got jammed on, and they stopped, the leaves started turning light green and sort of yellowish, except the first two leaves which did turn pretty yellow. Until two nights ago, I...

Ok, so I did a search on the forum, and found that purple leaves are caused by too much light. Also, seems that it could be caused by Phosphate Deficiency. I will add, the leaf itself is turning purple, not necessarily the vein. These plants are about 15 days old, and not all of them are...

Caught this little insect crawling around on one of my plants today. I didnt see any physical damage to the plant, but I am wondering if its a friend or foe. This little fellow is about half the size of a lady bug, maybe even smaller than that.

I found this spot today on a couple of my plants. Its on the original leaves that came out when the plants first sprouted. I have not noticed this until today on any, and so far I see it on a couple of my biker Billy's. Is there a need for concern? If this is a problem just starting, maybe with...

Hey All! This is my first grow log. I started growing peppers last year, when my wife picked up a few from the local feed store. I immediately fell in love with growing and caring for my pepper plants. So, this year, I decided to grow some from seeds, and see how well they do. A late start, I...

Ok, I hate asking these noob questions (though what else can you expect from a noob.....:lol:)....but hopefully this will help me in the future. I lowered the lights on my grow area, per a suggestion of a forum member. Now, the leaves are like reaching for the lights...they are approximately...

Got a bit of a late start, but if they do ok I think I will get some peppers off these babies. I grew a few test plants late last year, and did not over-winter them...now thinking it would have been a good thing to do. This years batch seems to have yellowing on the leaves as they sprout...

I found tonight that my sweet banana plant has aphids on it. The leaves at the bottom have quite a few on the undersides, while the top leaves have few and they are scattered among underside and topside. The plant looks plent healthy, it dropped a couple of leaves and when I picked them up to...
