yeah and his lower leaves touching the soil (compost) is a great way to get soil borne diseases, op might want to trim all the lower leaves.

could be disease on these plants just got lucky.    if you are doing the same thing on the other plants i wouldn't be so quick to condemn your fertilizer methods. although if you are going to use masterblend 4-18-38 definately use the calcium nitrate and epsom salt too. u need the calcium and...

lower leaves drop to form new branches, it is pretty common.  Is this all over the plant, or just the lower ones?   but generally you should stay away from moisture control. it usually means they put something in the mix that holds extra water. this is good for flowers and lets you be lazy, but...

  i don't do any foliar feeding.   With liquid feeding you can add it to every watering, every day, i do. (its on an automated system) with hydroponic systems where roots are constantly in solution like kratky or dwc the nutrients are always available in solution.   Generally you should follow...

1)  Foliar feeding is used to help with what appears to be ailing plants, fine.  Elsewhere I read that foliar feeding can be used in lieu of a regular watering.  Is there general agreement about this? No, plants have roots for a reason they are specialized in absorbing water and nutrients...

transpiration: plants suck up water from the roots and emit (breath) it out through the leaves.  This is part of photosynthesis process.    A plant in full sun is doing maximum photosynthesis increasing transpiration. As the plant gets hotter it transpires more to cool down via evaporative...

what do the flowers look like?   could have just got crossed with a darker variety.

:welcome:

can checkout the different vendors in the vendor vault.   it might be good to wait for 2019 seeds to go up. Lots of gardeners / vendors will be processing their new 2019 seeds in the fall. 

growing about 5?6? different brainstrain genetics. some interesting stuff going on.   these ones don't look very bumpy but have decent shape   these ones look good

there are a few different types of leaf spot. https://pepperdatabase.org/pdf/SEM-12095_PepperDiseases_8p5x11_072313.pdf   but i agree it looks like too uniform of holes which would make me think pest.  damage looks similar to this says it can feed on Solanaceae

  nice shrubbery!   yeah people don't believe when i say 4-5 ft row spacing. like the guys trying to do square foot gardening who put 16 plants in a 4x4 bed. it's too much if you have really good growth like you!

found out my injector stopped working 2 weeks ago. so plants have had no nitrogen or calcium lol whoops.  it is pretty easy to service the injector, just pop out 3 o rings and throw some new ones in with silicone to lube it up. nutrients are back on track now.   But that's literally all ive...

ah yeah the curse of having a really good harvest is you gotta support em or branches hit the floor.   looking good tho anyway

  yeah for normal gardeners not a problem, unless you have some reallly bad soil.   i meant like farmers with fields rotating crops targeting a specific ph or whatever they will usually test it and amend every year.    But for organic especially you are kinda letting the soil manage itself.

water ph adjustment is really only necessary in hydroponic systems.   if you are testing ph you test the ph of your medium, aka what your roots are sitting in. In hydroponics water is the medium so you have to control it. In normal garden the soil / soilmix is the medium so you control it (or...

yes it will recover,  just a haircut lol

label maker labels seem to be more durable than sharpie.   or just make a label using paper, then cover it with clear packing tape aka laminate it pretty much.    

you are better waiting till people start seed saving in August - December. if you buy now you are going to get leftover older seed.

that will still work, if you already bought it might as well use it. follow the label mixing instructions.
