Hello every one, greetings from Mexico. I just recently got started with this new hobby thanks to my chocolate habanero that makes some delicious salsas and bbq rub, I also didnt know how much satisfaction it could bring to see a little plant pop 100+ peppers in just a couple weeks!
I'm glad I found this forum/site because I've been very excited and distressed lately. Turns out that my Chocolate Habanero started blossooming like crazy in the beggining of December and produced over a 100 little peppers and everything going good until the 23th that I had to leave for like 5 days due to holidays. When I came back I noticed my habanero plant was looking yellowish, beat and had stopped producing new flowers and the ones it already had were burnt (all the little buds were black) so I started doing research and came to the conclusion it needed calcium and hydrogen so I added some egg shells, bone saw dust and horse manure and although the peppers kept growing fine all the leaves are drying up. I also watered the plant at least once a day in a desperate attempt to make it recover from those days it didn't get any water. I got a picture I'm going to try posting to see if any one knows what's going on, the weather is been pretty cold as we are in the middle of winter and I live right next to the hills and later night and early morning temperatures drop well into the 0 degrees celcius.
I hope you all can tell me what's going on since its my first attempt at growing peppers and I already ordered a bunch more seeds, hehehe (nervous giggle).
Thanks a lot before hand, saludos amigos.
