So I have had these blackish almost navy blueish spots on my Scotch Bonnet leaves for a while. Only in the last week or so, since my pods have started to ripen, it has gotten a bit worse. I have yet to find any answers searching google. It only effects the top of the leaf while the bottom is ok...

Funny as I was about to post a week or so ago with the same question. Though I have Facing heaven peppers I brought back from china which is the traditional pepper in Kung Pao dishes. They set a while ago and they just started changing this past week. I have zero patience I guess. If I could...

Some update photos of pod porn. Looks like my earlier statement was wrong. These peppers do face heaven but aren't the traditional fatter more bulbous kind. Though I found a bag of those at a local chinese market and have tested them in ziplocks with paper towels with great germination results...

So I decided to move some of my plants out of the ground because the dense clay soil was chocking off any decent growth. I decided to pot them in a mix recommended in the sticky thread. The apply named "5-1-1" mix since it was simply and easy to acquire. Thats five gallons pine fines, 1 gallon...

Some updated shots of my plants. Some severe weather has been pounding my plants and that's not just the heat. A wind storm cracked one of my plants stalks in half (first picture, left hand row, second from bottom). I simply stood it up right and put two stakes in the ground to add support, I...

I live in Ohio and am having similar problems. I believe the soil is too compact and might not be letting the roots grow. My potted plants with loose sandy soils I bought are doing great. My question is, what is the easiest way to break up clay garden soil in the ground? I guess Ill have to dig...

I was wondering about fish emulsions since they are highly recommended. I got some Alaskan Fish Fertilizer and used it about half strength about a month ago on my plants. Having transplanted them a few weeks before that and them not being very big I didn't want to over do it as I haven't...

So these are some pics of my plants this year. I transplanted them outside maybe two-three weeks ago. The ones in pots are in a mixture of compost, peat, and Promix organic. They are doing great. Though seeing some of your guys set ups they should be spitting out peppers by now! The first pic is...

Sorry if the pics are super clear. I am wondering what type of disease my poor plants have. I think it is maybe podwery mildew. Mostly infecting my scotch bonnets. I have a fungicide I had from years past when I had a similar case in older plants. With them I'd spray and prune. This year they...

I am currently trying to harden my plants off. I was wondering what night time air temperature should be when I decide to leave them out all night? My search bar-fu has not turned up an answer. I have Bhuts, red and yellow scotch bonnet and Facing Heavan peppers (not too sure if that is...

Picture update: Some more pictures of my NMSU bhuts. Still kind of disappointed with the shape of the ones from my big plant. I don't think the soil drains well enough and that is causing the nutrients to cause these deformed peppers. I used some blood meal to boost nitrogen since the big...

Went outside to check on my plants today and was horrified to find some serious leaf browning spots. Looks like about a third of my leaves are spotting and dying. There are some peppers with them too. Looks like a fungus. I really don't know what it is or how to fix it. Hope you guys could help...

What type of nutrients are you talking about. Any way to fix this problem?

Here is a pepper porn update. Got a dozen or more on my bigger plant with more coming (though it is hitting high temps here and have some serious flower drop). My two little plants perked up the best they could. Question. Though bigger and more robust the peppers on my larger plant seem short...

Well my plants are doing much better. I think they were still basically dormant when I first brought them out and photoed them. They have sprung to life. Im still trying to learn the ropes. There was a good stretch with some solid sun and hot weather I watered well. The other day I watered...

The seedlings had been in a relatively cool basement, mid-upper 60s, then I put them in the sun with the clear plastic top on. I guessed the temp shifting so fast might have done it. Too bad the friggen forecast is supposed to be thunderstorms and rain until NEXT Monday, almost 3 whole weeks of...

Ok so this is my second year and once again due to traveling I have gotten a really late start and have been messing up bad. The first few images are from Bhut plants I had my mom over winter for me as I was abroad. She cut them back very lightly. I got back from China and brought the plants...

I would also like to know the ripening time of Bhut jolokias? I have a plant with some pods that are new changing color to orange/red. I am out of the country so I need to be able to relate this information to the person caring for my plants.

Was wondering what to do with seed (jacket or coat?) that are stuck over the seed leaves of my new Bhut seedlings? I have three or four where the seed seems like it is stuck and not letting the first leaves open up. They seem to delicate to mess with and I figure leaving them be is best? Is this...

Sorry, this was the second part of my post that I couldnt post yesterday (to many pics per post). These are two of my original plants that I did not have enough jiffy pots to put them in. I decided to plant them outside and see how they did. As you can see slugs have devoured them. Im...
