Could very well be spider mites. I had the same issue last year (all my plants looked like your picture) and it was spider mites. Considering you get it mostly on new growth this would be my first guess.   I would advise using something chemical for this, as neem oil (or some other type of...

I also germinated both at the same time and they pepped about the same tim (more or less - can't remember exactly, but within a week and a half for both). Give them a cuple of weeks... though the seeds could be bad. I had some manzano seeds this year that didn't germinate at all (while the other...

Quick update on what I've noticed... The pruning I've done on the coco peppers helped them withstand the outside winds much better (smaller leaves, bushier plant). The hydro reaper has now 5-6 "main" stalks instead of the one. It has just started to put out flowers (I think it has about 10), but...

As an experiment I've trimed and topped the hydro HP22B a few weeks ago. Also, while it was trimed and growing branches, I've kept feeding it "grow" nutes until I saw the first buds. As a result, now I have, instead of one main stalk, something like 6-7 which kept forking, and hundreads of buds...

  Thanks for the answer. The weather is pretty cold and rainy at the moment, so no way of direct sun light, but for the last few days they got some sun now and then (the weather wasn't very friendly since they were out).

Hi,   All the pubescent plants I put outside exhibit this problem. The leaves are curled down and really close to the "body" of the plant, like it's trying to take as little a space as possible.   I will post a picture tomorrow when there will be more light. Imagine a plant with droopy leaves...

Didi it work?   From the looks of it I highly doubt it would work on aphids and/or spider mites...them bastards can really stick to one poor peppers leaves.   Hope it works out for all your needs! 

  Really interested to find what caused that myself.   I had some plants exhibit the same symptoms as that pic, but that was from very high winds. Plants died in a day or two, but the winds were REALLY high. Can't imagine what could cause the same indoors, in as little time as that. I'm thinking...

You should add to the costs a ph meter (or just the test "kit"). A ppm meter would also come in handy later on...   What are you doing about the temps? I'm thinking that enclosure with the 300W lights plus the ballasts can get pretty hot.   Also, as one last observation, I think the space is...

The plant looks healthy, it's not a problem with water or feeding.   It's just too young/small to set fruit at the moment, judging from the 1 pic...

Sorry for not posting for a while, but these are the 2 week mark pictures (with the originals for easier comparison):             Sorry for not having the time to put the trays out and the big hydro bucket masking a lot of the picture, but I think you get the idea...   Cheers!

How did it go? Got the plants outside already? How low did the temps get and how are the plants doing?

Thanks for all the replies!   I kept using the ratios stated on my label and everything is fine right now (the GHE ratios) for the veg. state. The only problem is the ph for the old reservoir water is still very low (under 5) when changing the water (nothing to do with the ratios, just an...

  Is this the same as rocoto/rocato? I thought all pubescens should have hairy leaves and stems... and black seeds?   This looks a lot like an early hab (young plant).

  Thanks for the input. Your 10-10-5ml/gal would be 26.4-26.4-13.2ml/10l. So a bit more than the GHE chart.   What other nutrients do you use?

Changed the water in my DWC today. This time I went the full GHE veg dosage (15-10-5) to see how it goes. I am always using 10.5l of water for the 10l dosage just to be sure I have a small head-room for not burning the plant (only have one reaper). I don't have calmag, but I usually suplement...

Hi,   I live somewhere in Europe, so what I buy is from GHE (made in France, not the USA), but the labels show the same content for each of the Flora 3-part series (what I use at the moment).   The dilemma I have is that the dosage printed on my label (the GHE stuff) is much lower than the...

Well, if you already bought it, just go ahead and use it. I used some last year and it was OK. Not any better that some other generic one at as similar (or even) lower price point.   It is easy to use.

I wasn't asking for info... I was just posting that in-depth study for you all...   Have fun!   edit: I was refering to the canna forums as a not the best example, as pepper plants grow differently (in most every area - temperature, oxygen content in water, nutes, you name it)

  I didn't.. :)
