I can't find a finite answer on vinegar ratio in this thread everything is vague and I really don't have a PH tester so I have to rely on cup measurements.   So This is my basic recipe and I am curious if I messed it up or will it be safe to store it:   8 Chocolate Moruga peppers 3 Cups of...

What are those brown patches on stems and leaves? Those on stems look like brown scars. I thought this is some kind of fungus so I sprayed my plants with sodium bicarbonate and soap and next time with peroxide. Its still there:      

If you look at my previous thread http://thehotpepper.com/topic/54314-stunted-growth-and-curled-leaves-couple-of-theories/ you can see black leaves that me and you guys thought were the cause of too much light. My plants were stunted, most of them died, some of them are SLOWLY getting better but...

I started my seedlings (reapers, bolivian rainbows, lemon drops and tomatos) in a cupboard under one 110 W CFR on 23th of february and by today my plants look like in the pictures below. It is clear that under optimal circumstances they should be bigger by now! They also developed upward curled...

Does this look spindly to you? I have my seedlings under a 110W CFL (wattage equiv. conventional lamp power): http://media.conrad.com/medias/global/ce/5000_5999/5700/5750/5754/575471_BB_00_FB.EPS_1000.jpg   Some seedlings are normal length I guess but some like this C. Reaper appear to be...

Can someone explain to me why this particular pepper I had (hybrid) turned to wood while overwintering, while other peppers that are pure breeds remained green and fresh? Plant is all dried out and brown like some sort of bush, you can snap its stems like a twig.   Is the plant lost now? Did the...

Can we have a thread about ventilation for indoor growers? What setups do you use? What fans should I buy? Can you recommend any systems to buy online? I need a small vent for my cupboard setup. I am thinking to provide some air flow from the front and holes for outtake are in the back. Place is...

On all my plants especially habaneros all leaves have fallen off, maybe they lack sufficient light since I don't have enough. Some side stems started to dry out. pods starting to dry some pods are rotten inside I received advice to leave the unripped pods on my plants and they will continue to...

I started using Neem oil to get rid of my aphids problem. I read that the oil doesn't instantly kill the aphids it rather works slowly after several sprayings because it messes up the hormones of the instects.   But how long does it take for neem oil to show some results?  

I am letting my plants do their natural cycle after I brought them indoors. Because of colder temperatures and less light, they are starting to enter dormancy which means they are droping leaves since they don't need so much energy produced.   My question is, why should I prune them back? Why...

I noticed my peppers got a lot more yellow than before. Some smaller leaves on my habanero are completely yellow, most of them are falling off. Other habanero plant seems ok though.   Question is is this normal for this time of the year or is the plant lacking nutrients? Maybe overwatering or...

I have a high resolution scan of my problem. Can anyone indentify what is causing these:  

I just wanted to show progress of my prunned plants as a lot of you were skeptical and I heard a lot of complaints I shouldn't prune so much so late in the season in this thread: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/48701-was-it-fine-to-prune/   Maybe it was a bit late yeah but I still expect harvest...

My Jalapeno has the following three yellow spots on it, is this maybe a sign of overfertilizing? Other plants don't have such spots anywhere though but some of them have distorted leaves as I mentioned in another post.      

I just prunned some of my peppers they had way too much flowers on them and they were still so young. Also some of my plants lacked the width. I want to make them bushy and large before they start growing fruit.   I am wondering did I made the right decision to prune them like I did? Too much...

Some leaves on my Tondo picante peppers have holes in them, I don't have any snails on my balcony though. What is causing this problem? Maybe they are just from the heavy rain or something more searious? Also does the plant look healthy to you, I mean the leaves just look way too far from the...

My habaneros have developed some kind of brown spots under the leaves. They appear to be present only on older leaves, new leaves are fine. I did have some aphids on those two habaneros but I killed them with soap. My other habanero which is from different seeds is fine though. Didn't have any...

For pepper plants, should I get tree bark or just sprinkle vermiculite on the top?   I need to apply some mulch to my plants the soil is heatinng up like crazy and also loosing water. I hear tree bark is okay since peppers don't mind slightly acidic soil?

Why are leaves on Loco pepper plant turning black? Even stems are blackening. Is this just a variety thing or sunburn?   Pic:  

I need to harden some of my plants.. If I put them in direct sunlight for too long they get all thin and mopey (leaves curl down). Is this a sign that the plants aren't adjusted well enough or are they just receiving too much sun?   Can too much direct sun per day kill pepper plants or do they...
