Never grown those before. They look correct to me. They have the same shape on the bottom of the pod as I would expect. The three lobed coming together at the rounded point. You always get variation, but those look legit. What did you expect them to look like? They also should ripen to red...

Optimal ph for pepper plants is not that low. I could be wrong but regardless which way you are growing them don't you have to keep the ph at whatever the plant needs it 2 be? Generally Ph is kept at 5.8-6.3 in hydroponics. I find that the tomatoes I grow do there best closer to 5.8. Ph for...

Raise your ph closer to 7 Even in dwc?

Any opinions?

Maybe I have a different phenotype of the black scorpion tongue. These peppers look nothing like any of the images I have seen around the net. Anyone think fatalii mis labeled these?

How deep is your flood tray? 3 gallon reservoir is imho way to small for a reservoir for a flood drain setup. I was running a 10 gallon reservoir on my very first system and I found myself topping off the res with nutrients and Ph adjusted water every day to keep the pump from running dry.

I don't see anything wrong. The buds are also a sign of a healthy plant. Then again I don't worry about my plant's leaves unless they are discolored or falling off. They might be slightly overfeed, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. Just try feeding them slightly less if you want...

Sounds like I might have started feeding her to aggressively to early. I'll do a reservoir change and drop the ppms to high 600's and keep the cal mag at 3ml per gallon. Hmmm... I say give them a flush and resume your nutrient schedule.  I would not recommend increasing the amount of cal-mag you...

High output fluorescents. 5k lumens each at 54watts

Also.. were they ever exposed to cold, wind, or extremely bright lights (as in exposure to HID lights without being adapted over the course of a few days with incremental exposures after being raised under floros?) I raise them under a 4' 6 tube HO setup. Always indoor with a climate...

Ok... lol.. good.   Well... in the end it could just be genetics... is this a problem particular to this plant... or are you seeing it across all of your peppers?  I had a few plants last year that started to grow in a funky way and never really recovered.  I blame genetics when I have 200+...

Why would you cut thee ppms in half for tomatos and not for peppers?... IME tomatoes are heavier feeders than peppers for sure.  This could be your problem.  Try cutting back your ferts just a little. Sorry, my English sucks lol. I'm usually running 1400ppm on tomatoes and I cut it down to...

I'm running jungle juice which is normally a 3 part system but I'm only running the micro and bloom. They call that the Lucas formula. The grow only introduces more nitrogen than you really need. I've been growing monster tomatoes with this same recipe but I cut the ppms in half.

Yeah.. something does look off... and while I would have said Mg defficiency.... you say you have been feeding them ample Mg.  Could you be over-applying it?... because that actually looks a bit like some of the plants I accidently over-fed epsom salts to last year.  The symptoms on display are...

For hydroponics, I've seen stuff like this sometimes. Not normal, but can be treated easily. Try to adjust the nutrient levels, add a little bit of calcium or something. I'm already adding calcium and magnesium at 3ml per gallon.
