Sulfur, it's cheap, but I don't know the measurements for use as a fungicide.

I saw patch of this growing by the road side and thought of this thread :D It's solanum nigrum A.K.A black nightshade. Its very common but not as common as woody nightshade.

A prolific and very common weed over here in the UK, it's often known as woody nightshade. Nice macro shots by the way :-)

They need a few good doses proper fertiliser, and plenty of watering Nitrogen deficiencies start at the bottom and works the way up, yellowing of leaf's is the most obvious symptom... oh and it can happen pretty fast.

Sorry just getting back to this thread. Yes I'm sure they are thrips now, I saw a small blackish one crawling on my phone screen, it then reared it's back like the babies but this one opened some wings and flew off. Definitely looked like a picture of a thrip. Yes I few mangle leafs, that...

Pls delete

The leaves look a very dark shade of green, perhaps to much nitrogen? Also the curling under of the leafs could be a sign of over fertilising Some of those leafs look a lot like how some of mine got, yes thrips could be responsible, I've got the buggers on a few of plants. However I've also...

Nice :-)

I've never heard of that fire & ice one before, I'll have to google it :-) Egyptian Henbane, and Yellow Henbane are two others you might like

Is it off 100% ? I've had branches snap 3/4 off and what I've done is tie them with string so as the split parts are held together. The plants seem to heels themselves fine. I had a bell pepper last year that broke right at the bottom of the main stem (hyper dogs) and it continued to grow with...

Definitely absolutely not an aphid, i know what an aphid is.. they're a big problem when I over winter plants in the conservatory. The legs of these creatures are at the front, it's body is also somewhat defined from the top half, with a distinct head. They are fast moving, there is no sign of...

Thanks for your input :-) I have been spraying with a copper based spray every 10 days or sofor about 5 week as now... It hasn't rained for nearly 2 weeks, and they are in a growhouse, so when it does rain they get a fair amount of protection. They are the wrong shape and size for aphids, also...

I don't know about the bugs, but the more I look into the stem problem the more I'm torn towards early blight :(

I've seen these before on my plant's but only in isolation. This morning i spoted 5 of them on one leaf, they are tiny and run quite fast. Are they sucking the life out of my leaf's?  My initial thoughts are maybe a thrip??   I really need some help with this please :)     Also I've had pod's...

I can't seem to zoom in to get a better look at the pictures. It could be some kind of bacterial leaf spot, it could also be early blight, grey leaf spot, or even septoria leaf spot. This is a all assuming it's not fertiliser, or pest related.

It depends, sometimes daily sometime every other day. It also depends on which plants, some are in bigger pots then others, some are mature and need less water, some sit at the back of the growhouses so less sun shines on the pots, some plants are bigger. Regarding the amount, if they're are...

Looks nothing like bacterial leaf spot, if anything it looks more fungal, but this is assuming it's not insect or nutrient related. This also looks like fungal, probably from splashes.

Sorry I thought you said your stems went brown and dropped off. Would need a picture to get a better idea ;)

Over past few days it's been high 20's & low 30's. However the garden has been as hot as 38C... Goodness knows how warm the growhouses got, but I've had to move the plants out of them. It could be a fungus causing the stem problems.

I'm in the UK :) All the plants pictured where sowed back in February. This is just a small selection of pods, all of my plants are podding up nicely. A few of my plants from other seasons have ripe pods.
