I have plants in pots too, and moved some in, but the problem is, with work and the nature of the rain (pop up thunder storms) they would have to stay inside all day, or under shelter all day and I was worried about light....probably would have been better to have less light I...

I have always loved the rain, the more the better I have always thought...well, since getting into pepper growing I have quickly changed my mind....;-/. Since Friday we have gotten over 6.5 inches of rain, and its coming in a fashion where it is keeping the soil saturated nearly all the time and...

Well its been a while since I have updated. The plants are doing well, at least the container ones are. The ones in the garden are so so I guess. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the little peppers now starting to show up. I have little peppers on Cubanelle, Perpperoncini, Bulgarian...

Thanks to all. The buds are just beginning and have not really come out enough to pinch, but when they do, Ill get rid of them. There are about 6 buds on it now, best I can see. I have not fed this plant at all thus far, its been so lush and dark green, I just couldnt see any need to. As for...

Does the new growth on my Bhut Jolokia look okay? To me it has the appearance of being too light and almost a yellowish, compared with other pepper plants I have growing. I hesitate to give it food, due to the dark green of the mature leaves...any thoughts at all? BTW, note the wind battered...

Thanks! We are expected to be a little warmer tonight than last night, forecast is for 46, sitting on 59 right now. Laters!

Yes on the wind...I spent most of yesterday protecting the young...lol. It was only gusting into the low 30's here (in the woods), but it really whipped around the plants that have not been potted or planted yet.....they are ok, but it was rough on them. Ive gotten about 21 potted up, but had to...

You got that right! It was 86 for a high day before yesterday, been to 88 already this spring, and that was in April...unreal heat for April here in the mountains. Other than worrying about my plants, I am quit enjoying this cool snap we are currently having...put the Jeep top down Friday...

FYI, the plants did rebound, and actually look better than they did before the cooler air!

Yep, in the northern mountains of Georgia it will sometimes hit the 30's til around mid may....even later sometimes, but that's more rare. I hope by this afternoon these plants have shown some signs of perking up.

The morning low dropped to 38 F this morning....my plants are drooping, tops are hanging....the sun is on them now and the temp is up to 58 F....but they look pitiful...no frost damage, but this wilted look has me worried...will they recover? Thanks in advance. Shane

ok, well outside these will go today then. they do look better this morning. no more leaves have dropped and they are perkier and just look better. i will be planting everything out over the next week. thanks for the help.

well i have to say the description of Oedema certainly sounds like the problem, except we wait til these things are bone dry and the leaves start drooping before we water them....so i dont understand how the could be watered any less and survive. oh well, i hope the rest of the plants dont do...

I have no idea what this is, and its killing my sons plants. Yesterday morning, they looked beautiful, last night, not so good, today, leaves falling off and this bubbly, yellowish stuff is on the underside of the leaves...the exposed side of the leaves on some of the plants look yellow in...

A new shot of my Jolokia, this was taken April 11, 2010.

Will do Alan, I am thinking the same thing now. The ferts did make a little difference, they look better, for the most part....but, still not near up to par with the others. I will wait a while before I water the next time and see how it goes. Shane

Awesome, congrats...! I have one lone Bhut Jolokia, its very healthy, but all alone.

POTAWIE, It is Jungle Growth Growers Mix, supposed to be for seedlings and cuttings. It has A little pine bark in it, but overall not real chunky...that one plant does look to have a bit of pine bark on the top...but both trays have the same type mix in them....all but the one tray in the top...

Yea I am not concerned about the purple leaves at all, thanks to previous posts by the good people at these forums.... My concern now is primarily the very slow growth, light color and yellowing of the leaves. Also after I posted this last night I noticed some purple veins at the throat of the...

I planted these, and all had been well with them until last weekend. They were growing great, then suddenly the brakes got jammed on, and they stopped, the leaves started turning light green and sort of yellowish, except the first two leaves which did turn pretty yellow. Until two nights ago, I...
