Did you fertilize this plant in the small pot ?  Looks like you have some leaf tip burn. Could be too much fert... could be over watering too.   Looks like a lot of leaves have dropped too. Not a lot of yellow... so over watering may not be the prob.   Since you moved the plant to a 5 Gal...

I looked up some weather details for Sarajevo.  Your average summer high temps (23-26 deg C) are not exactly hot.  Pretty warm is a better description. The average summer LOWS (12-13 deg C) are actually quite low for a Bhut.   The Bhut Jolokia and most Super Hots are very slow growing. They need...

I have a new 4x4 tent coming this week and am thinking about a new fixture for it.  Currently I have a bunch of T5 6500K fixtures and recently bought a new VIPARSPECTRA 700 LED.  The 700 LED is in a 2.5x2.5 tent with 4 peppers small plants.   For the next light I am thinking about trying a...

Elscott... tell me that those plants are older than one year... please !  They are huge !   All of my new plants in the outdoor garden are not even half the size of yours... Awesome !  Just Awesome !!   Jeff

I've seen this on my plants as well.  I've read that the severely crinkled leaves could be cause my excessive nutes. I've also had deformed leaves where it look like something took a bite out of the side of the leaf. Since my grows have been indoors, and I couldn't find/identify and bugs on my...

Every Super Hot Pepper I've grown indoors has had the crinkled looking leaves.  Might be from the ferts being too strong, but could also be from the distribution of the light spectrum (blues/reds) coming from my lights.   I have a Bhut that I started indoors under T5 and then moved it outdoors...

I'd say that you should expect the plants to be shocked for a little while when changing the enviromnet. I can't explain "why" but I've seen this many time when I've move plants from T5 to the outside, or from outside to inside under T5 or LED.  Every time I moved the plants to a different...

Looks like it might be a Mirasol pepper.  Pepper ID is crazy difficult sometimes.... and I can hardly identify my own if I don't have them maked !   Jeff

I read your other post. Wow... that seams like a lot of work.  Personally I just buy my nutes. I'm kinda lazy !   With that said, if these current peppers don't work out, you could always use your home made nutes on a bunch of different types of peppers. Maybe you'll find some types peppers that...

Ok thanks for the update.   Have you grown successfully before using your current method ?  I can't think of anything that would be an obvious problem here.  I'm not sure if the "house and garden" drip clean is something I'd put in my system. Personally I'd use good nutrients mixed at the...

Hey sorry but I missed something on this one. I re-read your post and you're doing Aero :)   How big is your reservoir ?   The roots look fine to me but I'm no expert. Leaves don't look good though. Be interested in hearing the concentration of the nutes. One leaf looks like the nutes are too...

You forgot to put the timer on auto after a filter change ?  What timer ?? What filter ?   What fertilizer are you using and at what concentration ?   What are you using for a pH meter ?   What are you using to lower the pH ?   I know that's a lot of "what" but you left out some information that...

I'd say you should have the drains at the lowest/deepest part of the bed, not high like shown in the pic. I wouldn't want water to collect at the bottom of the bed even if it was like 4 ft down.  Those sure are deep beds !!!, so maybe it won't matter.   Jeff

Looks lie it's going to be a DEEEEP bed !   Looking forward to seeing in completed... with the peppers too  :P   Jeff

That's an awesome idea.... a small leak to water the plants !!  I never would have thought of that. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.   Jeff

While I am no expert, I have seen that the super hot peppers take a long, long, long long time to grow.  Looks like the soil is pretty rich too, so maybe the little thing will take some time to get used to it.   In general it looks fine to me so just let it do its thing for now.   Jeff

Hey Mulchy, how old are those plants on the roof ?   I thinking that the roof would get way too hot for those pots. Might be cooking the roots.  Maybe you could add random plants or burlap between the pepper pots to keep the sun from hitting the roof. might cool them off a bit.   Jeff

HI Lek... You give not stupid advise :).   Humidity affects transpiration in the plants so it's important to consider. I think lots of plants would LOVE higher humidity !   Edmick...Mulchydreams... Socal is a warm place to live. No Snow !! (hehe). But you get high temps and low humidity which...

Update...    I have completely moved to the lower level. The ambient temp is 67degF with a RH of 38%.     My target is to have a temperature inside of the tent in the range of 70-80 degF. I figured that sucking the cool 67 degF air from the basement would make that hope a reality. Fact is.... it...

Does anyone try to replicate the natural environment of the pepper they are growing ?   I have done very basic research on the native environments of two peppers specifically... Bhut Jolokia (India) and the Moruga Scotch Bonnet (Trinidad and Tobago).  Both of these peppers grow in very humid...
