This is my first attempt growing a hot pepper plant. A friend set me up with a few naga jolokia seedlings, we planted 3 in pots and 1 we set up hydroponic? in a jar with an air stone. I think we did this really close to the 1st of April. The plants in the pots are about 12" tall now and the hydroponic plant is a little over 4' tall and about 4' wide at the top. This plant was going like gangbusters until a few days ago, I changed the solution from grow to bloom hoping to get it to start flowering. What I got was half of the leaves fell off and they all have a brownish spotting on the underside of the leaves. I started flushing with straight water in case it was the chemicals that were causing the problem. I pulled the pot to look at the roots and I think I've out grown my container as they are very tightly packed so much that I'm afraid to pull them any further without a new container set up. There were a couple of suckers that started last week and were over a foot long and thriving. This morning they look like limp noodles. I am going to try and post some pictures and see if any of you have a suggestion as to where I went wrong.
Thanks for looking,
