I'm tryin these too this year!    @Geonerd I'd definitely snip off those pods & early flowers. I like to prune up to the V or Y about this point too. Keep the focus of the plant on producing foliage & getting stronger. It looks a bit young to be havin babies! 

I just started this with basil around my peppers. I'd like to know if anyone has noticed any results. Farmer's Almanac has some info in this year's garden addition (shows a chart for various plants.)    Certain plants attract pests that kill harmful pests and vice versa. Companion plants don't...

Make a raised bed. Pick your location and mark off. Till up the ground a few inches deep. Mix that garden soil into existing tilled soil. Put up your boards to contain the bed. Throw all your garden soil in. Top it off with a little mulch. You're done. There's some good info on Farmer's Almanac...

What zone are you in? What state? Raised beds have the benefit of warming roots faster--and cooling faster. This has its ups & downs. In the Summer where I live (Middle TN) we have really hot humid weather. Having the beds up allows for them to cool off faster at night so that blossoms can form...

I'm new to the forum, so I'd rather not get into an argument, but I wanna add my opinion. I prune up to the "V" in my peppers. I remove every single branch from the V to the soil (and I choose the time variably.) I prune them away upon transplanting, then again at the time when (if my peppers...

My guess is tabasco. If thai, I'd think the leaves would be more slender?

I add it into my soil any time I "turn it over." It goes right in with new compost, worm castings, & the mulch that might have been on the top. I seem to have more earthworms every year....

There's a big difference between slow yellow and stall out....and leaves curling up like a newspaper on fire, and unfortunately, that starts at the difference between a tablespoon & teaspoon of concentrated nutrients.   I personally slam my peppers after pinching first flowers. I also use...

I'd dial the nutrients way down. Perhaps nothing for a while. Give it a chance to run through its storage and recover. 

 Peppers require far less water than say tomatoes. It's especially important for fresh transplants to be watered in well but left alone for a while. The roots reach out and grow more during the night AND when the soil is drier. Wet soil will prompt slower root expansion (which will also prevent...

That looks a little like fertilizer burn. It could also be a combination of fert burn & Ca deficiency. Notice how the larger established leaves aren't as affected? I would flush your soil with distilled water and prune off those curled leaves. The distilled water will attach itself to the fert...
