Once again, Edema time. I am going nuts.   I am growing a bunch of Jalapenos in my GH. I am using small  pots, 2,2l. A fan is blowing over my plants. The reason for edema is overwatering, but the problem is my pots are small and the soil dries fast in the heat.   Someone on the forum said NOT to...

Wondering if LST (Low Stress Training) with peppers makes any sense? Anyone did it and how were the results?   Ty!

Let me start saying I am growing peppers (Jalapeno varieties and Serranos) for at least 5 years now. I am just coming back from my green house (on the balcony), and I am....baffled.   Let me tell you what happened in the last few days:   2 days ago I decided I wanted to top all my (still very...

I have already posted about my plants (Jalapenos) not doing well, but now I discovered that I must have a massive problem with either edema, or powdery mildew. The thing is, I can't really say which one, even when I look at the stuff with a microscope.   There is this white to yellowish...

Sorry for not providing pics, but my description should be sufficient.   I am growing Jalepenos. Leaves (including upper leaves) are feeling "thick" and leathery, feel stiff and dry. They curl up on the sides and become yellowish in parts. Lower leaves turn completely yellow and then drop.   N...

    Not my picture but this is exactly what it is.   This is on my Jalepeno plants which are in my greenhouse on the balcony. I already checked with a loupe, but I don't see aphids. It's a substance which looks like snow/crystal and cannot be wiped off I think.   Thanks!

I still have bottles of the ol' GHE FLORA series, Grow, Bloom & Micro. Is anyone using these for peppers in pots, outdoors and in soil?   What dosage are you using and how often do you feed your plants with it?   Thanks!   Edit: I am aware it might not be an optimal nutrient for peppers in soil...

(I didn't take pictures you can google "pepper plants crumpled leaves" and you'll see classic examples, this is exactly how mine look).   I am growing several different Jalapeno varieties, and this season it is *really* bad with those crumpled/curled leaves. The plants are very young and some...

This happens always at the end of the season, like right now. (I am growing in Spain in a green house on the balcony, 18hrs light,but night time temps right now can get down the 45-50Fs, so it's a little chilly at night.   I am growing Seranos in various ways (for some years already), in soil...

I got me those two pots with what seems cherry tomatoes. The plants are very short and dense and bushy. Some red tomatoes are actually hidden inside the dense bush of leaves.   My question is do I need to repot them?   They are still in the same container I got them from the garden store, but...

Started out with one bar that had 4xCXB3590s, 36V, 3500K, CD bin on a Meanwell 240W 1750mA driver. That light was nice but it restricted my growing area somewhat to 1.20x0.60m (4x2'). That light bar, including the lenses and shipping the COBs from Kingbrite cost me about €400.   However, I got...

I have a bunch of Jalapenos and Serranos outside in Southern Spain, extreme sun all day long.   I harvested some Serranos yesterday because it is my understanding that nice and red means they are ripe. SOME of the peppers are hideously tiny, I am talking 1/2" or smaller, but bright red. Why are...

Short info:   Jalapenos, Serranos, growing in Hempy Buckets (manual Hydro) w/ Perlite/Vermiculite , feeding Floranova Bloom, Greenhouse on Balcony in Spain, VERY hot currently, under 15hrs LED CREE CXB3590s   As compared to my outdoor grow from last year, THOSE peppers I grow pseudo-hydro have...

Yes, I know how silly this question sounds, but hear me out :)  Isn't the difference, well, that an unfertilized mix, like ProMix, doesn't contain any fertilizers/nutrients while many pre-made soil mixes do? This is, for example beneficial when you want to start seedlings.   BUT...as soon as you...

I am growing in Perlite/Vermiculite right now, it's sort of like a "manual" Hydro system. I am using "GH Floranova Bloom" which is 4-8-7. Wondering whether someone by chance uses the same and how much they apply?   (I am using Floranova Bloom since this is, according to other grower sources, a...

I am spraying my seedlings for more than two weeks straight with Insecticidal Soap and Neem oil mixed in. What I always used for spider mites and other aphids with success. This time, they are VERY un-impressed. They seem even to be getting more. I am baffled since I otherwise swear by...

Every year I make the same stupid mistakes. So I labelled everything nicely, then I repotted them and now everything is mixed up.   I have a ton of younger plants, Serranos and Jalapenos. They're now about 15cm-22cm (8.6") tall.   How can I tell what is what?   I only found one post on the...

Hello!   I am growing Jalapenos and Seranos in a greenhouse in Spain w/ 2x 300W LED lights. I am new to chilly growing.   However, those I grow from seed are not actually my problem.   We also bought a (mature) pepper plant from a store around the corner. First, we have no idea what pepper this...
