    New growth turning yellow

    Thank you so much. This is all very new to me, so I'm still learning not to jump at every little thing that might be wrong. I really appreciate the reassurance! I don't mind having peppers that aren't pretty, as long as I get something to eat. :P

    New growth turning yellow

    I've seen what new growth can look like on some of my peppers. Kind of a lime green. This is a little more yellow and whitish than what I'm used to seeing, and it showed up rather suddenly on what I'm pretty sure were green leaves.   I took some construction paper to help isolate the leaves a...

    New growth turning yellow

    No bugs, luckily! I've been checking regularly, and I just gave it a really good once-over.

    New growth turning yellow

    I've just noticed the new growth in my Naga Viper turning yellow. It's just the top few leaves - the bottom ones still look fine. The photos don't quite show how bright the yellow is, it's almost a white.   I tried to research if it could be a deficiency of some sort, but it sounds like the...

Seeing how you all do yours makes me feel a little better that there's no one perfect scientific formula. I think I'm a little less stressed out now!   And those pictures are really...

    Thank you so much for your advice!   Darn... I was hoping to be able to use a higher compost component, because that is the ingredient I can get cheapest in bulk.   I checked out Greenhouse Megastore for vermiculite/perlite, thank you for the suggestion. They do have some coir available too, but...

    Thank you! To be absolutely honest, I started with a "hot pepper seeds" multipack from Amazon for most of the basics on that list, thinking that I'd be getting some pretty hot peppers! It was only after I'd started with some of those and gotten some nice seedlings that I did some actual research...

    Hi! I hope this is the right place to ask.   I'm in an area where it is very difficult to deter deer, so I'm growing mostly on our fenced-in south facing deck this summer. I have a solid amount of fabric pots, but I am running into an expensive wall when it comes to what to put in them. Buying...

    First time gardener

    Hello!   I've never grown anything at all before, but I love food, especially spicy things. Earlier this spring I ordered some pepper seeds and decided to jump in feet first. So many sprouted that I ended up giving most away to friends!   I'm not growing anything particularly interesting during...
