  Hi, the same as usual (my laptop). I tried to copy the pic and also with the "insert image" button. Never worked. Weird !

https://imgur.com/2Z9gcNZ   Here it is, next to my sugar rush peach !   Tried to upload the picture as it was explained to me but didn't work ("you are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.")

I use General Hydroponics flora trio for many years and it works perfectly fine. I was introduced to it by Khangg Starr's videos on youtube and I use his simple formula of 5/5/5 mL of each in 1 gal water. Never had a problem.

Lil' update here adressed to everybody that helped me ! After a few days without doing anything apart recovering from the hard trimming and the fungicide treatment (I used Dr Zymes eliminator), the plant has started to produce new little green shoots everywhere, even some buds ! I'm really...

Oh yeah, that's totally right. But they are from two opposit sides of the whole country, instead of two cities from the same state (called Région or Département here). I was pointing the fact that we're not on the same scale haha

  Sometimes I forget that geography is on a whole bigger scale in the USA (opposed to our tiny regions and coutries in Europe). Your state's surface is almost half of my country's ! So obviously I understand better the fact that there's not just one climate in Arizona ! ;)

  I'm a bit off topic here but i thought Arizona was much much hotter than 85F ? Am I wrong ? The day/night swings you told me are quite similar to what I have here in south west of France. And sometimes during heatwaves (which are more and more frequent year after year) we have up to 104...

  All right ! I'll see what my local gardening stores have in stock.  Thanks to both of you

  Very interesting point, thank you ! I noticed, in my own case, that the peppers that suffer the most under scorching sun are those that lived for the longest time under my grow lights, even after a proper hardening process. I have some 3 month old indoor chinense that can not tolerate mid day...

  I've always been told that cuttings must be taken from a healthy plant,  that said, I took a cutting from my parents house from their wonderful lemon tree. I guess if mine dies, I have something to hold on !

I think I'm going to do the same as you guys, I'm realising now that my balcony is way too exposed for my plants, at least with the weather that we have here this year and for plant that were started indoors. I actually went to my local gardening store after work and the person looked me like I...

Thanks for the links. The plants that I was talking about are in black fabric pots (7 gal) I agree, lots of variables in the equation, personnaly I grow mostly indoors so I'm not so familiar with all these problems. Didn't know that and actually was wondering, interesting point !

I experienced quite the same. Also, surprisingly I have a bacatuum that handles the full sun all day easily and a chinense that just looks terrible after 30minutes of the same sun. This one got moved out in the back lol

It's even more noticeable on this picture, thats interesting ! I love your setup btw, and the grow bags are really cool

Hi, I mostly wanted to hear about people's experience from different locations since just like you said we're not from the same regions of the world so things can vary. Also, even though I have a few grows behind me, I still consider myself as a beginner grower and keep in mind that some legit...
