    Ghost Problems

    I have something similar going on, although not as advanced as the leaf you've posted.  The resident experts can chime in, but I think it's either bacterial leaf spot or a fungus.  Google it and compare pics of those to what you have there.   Has it been consistently damp lately?  I think that...

    Downriver - 2021

    A bit northwest of you but yup..just been poopy weather lately.  Plenty warm but always raining just enough to keep things wet all the time.  Got aphids much earlier than last year and now some kind of mold or bacteria attacking too from the dampness.  The bugs are even attacking me more than...

    Siv's third time's a charm

    Nice plants, Siv!  Really like that Bangalore, looks pretty cool with all the spindly pods in various stages of ripening.

    Two weeks since pot out and looking good.  Last pod pinch on some of the smaller plants tonight and then we're smooth sailing.  Looking at a mostly sunny weekend coming with highs around 90.   Aphids showed up already.  I've heard you're really not supposed to treat it until it gets bad, but...

    Black Leaf Spot or Mould? HELP!!

    I probably wouldn't just yet as the damage is done and those burnt leaves will give the others some protection while hardening up. I'd clip em once you're all done and they're out in the sun for good.

      Totally man, your backyard is sick PaulG.  Looks like the perfect place to hangout on a summer evening, maybe a cold one in hand, surrounded by tons of cool plants.   I'll cross my fingers for you the hail stays back!

    New growth turning yellow

    I see.  Yeah, just looks like a little sunburn.  Don't worry, it should grow out of it.  Your plants won't always look picture perfect.  :halo:

    New growth turning yellow

    It's normal for newer growth to be a lighter shade of green than the older more mature growth.  If it's literally white, it could be sunburn, but I still wonder about that if it's already been outside in full sun for weeks and the change just showed up overnight.  Also new growth outside is...

    shopping Potting medium / buying in bulk

    I just made my first mix this year, so no authority on the subject but it's working well so far.  I'm also growing on a deck, everything in fabric grow bags.   First I made the base mix, which was   25% cow manure (any kind, just rake it out and remove stuff you don't want like big pieces of...

    Kramer Grew a Pepper (Maybe)

    Thanks dude.  Checked out your website, cool stuff.  How productive are those thunder mountain longhorns?  I saw them awhile back but wasn't sure if they'd just put out a few long pods or just be loaded.  Looks like a super cayenne, does it taste like one or kinda different?

    Kramer Grew a Pepper (Maybe)

      Valid question PaulG.  I would counter with, who needs deck furniture when you have peppers?  :dance:  Haha   Mixed up some more dirt yesterday and got a few last stragglers potted up.  Will have to take inventory, but I believe we're wrapped up with 53 plants.  Also mulched with some straw. ...

      Thanks, PaulG.  I see your plants are humming along too, like some well oiled machines!  :woohoo:   Yesterday was the day for me.  Got I think exactly 50 plants in the bags, some of the biggest are in 5 gallon bags or 2 per 10 gallon, and the smaller ones are 2 per 5 gallon or 3 per 10...

    Kramer Grew a Pepper (Maybe)

    Well, today was a lot sunnier than expected.  Was counting on the full blown overcast for hardening off, but it broke up and gave full sun by noon.  So, I went out and installed the shade cloth over lunch.     I'll probably leave this on for next day, then start pulling it off half the day a...

      Well, PaulG.  I had good intentions man, but I don't think we saved any money here  :tear: I think we just broke even  :rofl:   But a lot of this stuff was one time buy and I'll have plenty left over, like the garden lime, fish meal and azomite.  Also had to get 1/4" galvanized mesh to build...

    misc No hardening

    That's rough but understandable..life priorities.  Hang in there man.  Peppers are pretty resilient.  Maybe try to give them some shade if you can.

    seeds Germination time ?

      I completely agree, especially on the slower to germinate varieties.  You can get the kind with the temperature probe for pretty cheaps off Amazon, stick it in the dirt, and set to 85-87 degrees.  Maybe back it down to upper 70's once you start seeing them pop.  The heat is good to crack the...

    Well friends, the weatherman was in fact right about the past week and a half.  Always gray, pretty cold, and mostly raining.  Meh.  But, I've been watching for the window to open up, and I felt today was the day...     ...to move everybody out for some fresh air.  They won't be installed into...

    seeds Germination time ?

      Never tried rockwool, so I can't opine on that.  What's your set up like though?  Humidity dome?  Heat mat?  Properly watered and never left to dry out?  Did you soak them before hand?
