Everything looks happy now!
thanks all much better now that soil sucked. Thats what I get for being cheap.

Giant white hab

And orange bhut. There growing real well.


But i'm having problem with some my plants tthink I have thrip. But not sure.





 
GA Growhead said:
Not sure about thrip damage. I get the occasional distorted leaf much like that.
Orange bhut sounds cool.
The orange are the ones you sent me.

what kills me it on some plants and not others. I'm hoping that it's a mineral deficiency. It just on the top new growth. Will see.
thanks

Neat, is that the first pod of the season?
no its the second one the first one was about the size of a pea. I noticed this with a lot of my plants.

now more pics of pods.

yellow scorpion.

the top you can see the 3ft stake holding it

yellow brian

here is 7 pod with at least 20 pods
 
Another update with pode porn
Large red 7 I took a picture of earlier with quater now its harvested.


Dorset naga. Not lot pods but I'm hoping. J

Brown bhut.

Brown bhut with the peppers growning sideways I think it crossed with something. Its also has more follige compared to other brown bhut.


Now for the bad. Something getting to my cayenne. Ithinks its a slug. So I wrapped copper wire around the base.

pepper he dint get to.
But another he did only eats the crown.

and a scorpion that I have a leaf rolling problem developing on. I have another scorppion doing same thi except with leafs dropping.

but peppers look good on it.

 
GA Growhead said:
I have grass/leaf hoppers eating the tops of my pods, leaving the same damage. You got hoppers too?
 
GH what did you do to take care of problem?
 
 
I thought it might be that, haven't seen any. I put copper wire around the pot cause I found slugs also under the pot. I`ve been spraying my plants with ortho insect killer. Which I forgot to say in previous post taken care of deformed leaf problem.
I have to respray every 3 weeks.. That`s why it stumps me with the cayenne. I keep spraying and what ever it is keeps coming back.

 
Now overview of my plants.

 

 
Plants look great. Beautiful green leaves!
I haven't done anything yet about the hoppers. Waiting on the spiders to set up camp and take care of them. I have slugs and snails too. That's a problem not so easily resolved with my plant numbers. They could have done the damage. They don't just stop with leaves, pods are on the menu.
 
Bc bhut

here is my cardi gh.


a giant white with a tail.


and some leafs with some strange black spotting. My camera is not the best but it's there just look close.



im going to get some copper spray and hit all my plants.
 
Looking good! Lots of awesome color! Orange ghost look good! Nice orange color and pod shapes through out.
Brainstrains look more orange than red in the Picts. That the case?

I didn't see that before when I took the picture they do kind of look orange. Thanks for the comments GA.they're just as yellow as the car DS. If you take a look at theat the giant white habaneros summer yellow and some are white.I wanted to ask if that's normal for some to turn yellow in some to turn white I took a look today and sod that some that where y'all are starting to turn white..

I've been giving my plants the compost tea treatments. It seems to have helped with the bacterial leaf spot.I was going to give them another treatment here probably in another couple weeks. I've been doing it for every two days for about 2 weeks which team do it helped. I seem to have a new problem my brown ghost pepper has been losing all its healthy leave. Haven't figured it out but other than that it seems to be healthy.

I just been busy and kind of forgot about my Glog sorry for the late update.I'm getting ready to start smoking my peppers.I think it'll give it a nice smoky flavor when I make powder out of it.

pretty good looking orange ghost.
 
I like the GWHs my self.
Not sure about the leave issue. Kinda looks nutrient based, but kind not too.
Look mighty good otherwise my friend!
