This looks good. Not a huge container and not a huge price tag. Thanks!

Good to know, thanks.
Thanks guys. I might give it a try. I bought it because of the reviews and the claim about flowering plants. I figured peppers are flowering plants, so it should work great right?.... maybe not so much.
Otherwise I might just buy the General Hydroponics Floragro. I just wish they sold it...
I bought this BR-61 fertilizer a while back before I started reading about peppers. Is there any reason/stage of growth that this would be useful? It sounds like everyone uses a more balanced NPK fertilizer. NPK on this one is 9-58-8.

Overwintered Plants:

Here's a better picture. I haven't seen any bugs on or near the plants, so that makes me think its not aphids, unless they are so small that I cant see them....

Am I right in assuming this is powdery mildew? Has anybody tried the diluted milk method of prevention?
Back in January I sprayed this topped habanero with backing soda and water in an attempt to get rid of the mildew. My baking soda concentration must have been too high because it killed...
I haven't really been feeding them anything thinking that I already had too much fertilizer from the 1/3 Miracle Grow soil. I gave them a good dose of epsom salt when I watered them a couple weeks ago. The plants seem a little fuller, but the spots didn't really change.

Maybe my soil is not ideal. I'm trying 1/3 MG, 1/3 composted garden soil, 1/3 pearlite. Last year I used 100% MG and had several plants get burned leave tips; others had some powdery...
