the soil being dry once doesn't mean the plants haven't been overwatered.  You have to look at the prevailing conditions not the exception, just saying cause the soil looks wet in the pic. If the sand is the only difference than start there.  Theyre probably not draining as well. or maybe the...

and you can choose to surround yourself with toxins that have never been tested out of isolation. You have more faith than i do that the people who make this shit care more about your health than profits.

Plastic cups make sh!t pots because they're ...cups!  Pots are designed to drain, cups are designed to retain. They dont drain well no matter how many holes you put in the bottom, shape of a plastic cup promotes root spiral and they're very flimsy and prone to tipping...the list goes on.  Little...

You really shouldnt let the plants wilt between waterings, it does a lot of cellular damage. Watering when the top inch of the soil is dry is the rule of thumb.  My money is on under-watering.  Both peppers and cukes have shallow roots because they're under-story plants they live in slightly...

10-14 days with a seed mat is the norm with most hot peppers  http://www.walmart.com/ip/43169832?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227031139256&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=63741453551&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=117286301351&veh=sem

its because youre growing in a plastic cup.  Right out of the gate i would say its a moisture issue causing some sort of lock up but you say you definitely aren't over watering what does that mean? If its not water then it has to be the soil what is the mix you're using?  I flush is a good idea...

The best solution to aphids Ive found Is a strong blast from the hose (damages their little sucker parts) and a good smoosh with the thumb (damages everything else)  aside from that I would employ diatomaceous earth, its completely safe to everything without an exoskeleton.  Since your plants...

black leaf edges are usually a good indicator of moisture issues, let the top of the soil go dry before watering and never use plastic cups for pots.  Minor issues like these are normally grown out of. 

Be careful. I see alot of people over garden by thinking they need to do everything for their plants. Fertilizer isn't "food" to be fed to a plant every day, nor is it meant to be some kind of steroid that's going to turn your plant into a pod making beast. A plant synthesizes 98% of its make up...

Theyre one of the biggest names in heirloom seeds, one of the most expensive as well.

Interesting :think:  Im going to cross a normal Ghost with Yellow 7pot Jonah this year.  See if i cant get 14g Ghost peppers.

was wondering about that, How do you quantify the difference between yellow and golden? I guess youll see. 

Ive seen these in a bunch of this years seed catalogs, they all looked like a cross between an Aji lemon and a ghost to me.  http://www.territorialseed.com/product/ypp714 http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-9820-golden-ghost.aspx funny thing is Bakercreek seeds is only heirloom, and Johnny's says its...

Chilies are sub-tropic plants they like it in the 70-80F range.  Below 55 for an extended time and you can kiss em good bye.  Conversely, they dont like it when it gets over 90F.  They still grow but fruiting is really stalled.  Id say space heater is your best bet, a tent is cumbersome and isnt...

great point.

lol at it again i see.  This looks like a virus, beet curly top or tomato mosaic. or its moisture related.

Aphids are easy to kill.  Blast em with a hose, This removes the bulk of them and damages their mouth parts.  then smoosh the hard asses that hang on. If your looking for a chemical solution soak some cigarette butts in water and spray them.  Their little bodies cant handle even small amounts of...

aphids are born pregnant.  thats why you look one day and theres a million. in nature you need a healthy prey population so that when ladybugs and the like show up they have something to eat.  ive never actually seen any aphids on my peppers, they like my parsnips, most likely because they are...
