  Could be, I'll take a look, just odd that 10/11 plants wilt, one looks great lol. Not complaining though, I think they're all healthy.   How do you check for parasites other than digging into the pot?

Same seed package. Same everything :/   Maybe I should stim the others down a little? They got tall from being inside too long and had a hard adjustment when I moved them out.  They're hot thai birdseye BTW   Thanks. 

I have a handful of pepper plants grown. They seem healthy and I have a few peppers almost ready to harvest, but all but 1 of the plants wilts big time in the sun or when it doesn't rain a few days in a row. These plants all have the same history. The only thing different about this plant is...

I will post new pictures when I get home but they still look the same. Maybe a little more wilted and maybe a little darker.   They had plenty of water. I water them a little every day as I walk out my door for work. I increased the water for these 2 plants when they wilted.   @Geonerd - I'm...

Going on day 3. They look the same, maybe a little darker. They're in the shade with more water. 1 more day with no improvements I may transplant them into the yard and start 2 new ones. Sad. Thoughts? Will this effect the pepper output?

I think the black pots might have something to do with it. Sunday-Monday when they did this it was around 90-95.    I really can't afford to put them in bigger pots space wise (apartment), so I hope these will do. If I do upgrade the pot I'd most likely only be able to do it with a few of the...

I've been watering every day, I moved them into the shade this morning when they looked like that.   I'll keep them in the shade and 2x the water.    Thanks.

After trying to transition these plants from indoors to outdoors, I think I killed them... what do you think? Should I dump these and start over? i hate to see these not make it but I'm wondering how they'll do later on even if I can get them back to normal. Thoughts?  

UPDATE:  I topped the plants off with soil and that seemed to get them going good for a few days, but it was really hot the last few days and now I'm seeing the leaves droop quite a bit.... but the stalks seem to be strong enough now. Also seeing some holes eaten in the leaves. Take a look and...

I'm new to growing my own peppers and I was just wondering about the potting mix being used. No soil and using a bunch of other organic aggregates... maybe the pH is off, maybe not. Just wondering what the benefit of this is to just planting in the bag of potting soil or in the ground. 

  Moved them back outside and raised the soil on a few... if that doesn't do it I'll trim. Thanks.    Well, I already started them, so this is it for the year unless disaster. Really hoping these 10 chili plants will give me the quantity to make my stuff. 

  I thought the same thing about them looking like bean-stalks but didn't know that may be from a lack of light. I'll see how they look today after a full day of window sun. I just checked and the window is West facing, and that's the best I have :/

I did start them in Solo cups. They're def not searching for light, when I moved them outside they fell, then as I nursed them back to health the tops began adjusting for light, leaving them bent like this. As you can see, they're about 12" tall and 2 months old. 

Hey, thanks for the advice, this is my first try at growing my own peppers or anything else. I tried to do "hardening" but obviously it wasn't enough. I moved them back into the shade this last weekend and today I moved them back inside... it just seems too windy.    Most of them appear to have...

Hi, first time poster, looking for some guidance.    I have started 10 Thai chili peppers and 10 Tequila Sunrise peppers from Burpee. I began them in small Solo cups sitting on top of a laptop for heat. After sprouting, I moved them to a East facing window where they received about 4-5 hours of...
