  I'm with you guys on this one. Much as it pains me, I think I might have to just get rid of my symptomatic plants.   Thanks for your wisdom! 

Yeah, that's what's got me stumped. It's not a dead ringer for the clinical presentation of BLS, but  the symptoms are worrying. Growth seems slower too.  What would you do in this situation? I've got them segregated for now, and would hate to cull them all but don't want to lose my whole grow! 

  Thanks boutros. whatever it is, it seems to be killing the effected leaves, and spreading to the stems of young plants. 

Hey all,    Is this bacterial leaf spot?  I'm noticing these brown/black necrotic patches on the younger leaves of a number of my peppers. I've started all of these in a single room indoors, and I've noticed the symptoms spreading to a handful of plants.    I've segregated everything symptomatic...

   Looks like it's got both of us stumped!  What are your grow temperatures like? I have mine indoors still, and the grow lights keep the room around 80 degrees. I'm careful to let the soil dry out between waterings (to limit the potential for bacteria)  Since we're indoors, we have no aphids...

Hey gang,    Hoping you can help me with a weird one:    This is a Mojo Blackie  that's been in my grow room since late winter, and I've been carefully topping  to encourage side growth before it goes outside (probably next week or two, been a cold winter in Chicago)   here's what I'm noticing...

Slight to moderate mottled yellowing of most mature leaves w/ defined margin. Nothing necrotic, but focal dry brown spots on proximal half of lower leaves. Close up images attached.  Edit- New growth seems asymptomatic. 

Hey Solid,  I'm feeding them Alaska Fish Emulsion at half strength every other week. (Normally a 5-1-1, diluted to 2.5-0.5-0.5.)    I treated the root ball with Azos and Mykos  before re potting from the seed tray to the solo cup.  All of my other peppers are on the same regimen, and the other...

Hey all,    Here's another strange symptom that popped up on one of my Chinenses. This is a Weapon X  plant that begun showing these symptoms a few weeks back.    It does not seem to be affecting the growth, but it's certainly raising an eyebrow.  Could this be the dreaded mosaic? or just light...

    Great info guys, thanks!    CD, One of the articles you sent along mentioned humidity as a causative factor. In that the plant can't properly transpirate if the air is sufficiently saturated.  While I do have air movement, I'm growing in a closed spare room.    One last thing to try might...

Alright gang, I'm calling in the brain trust on this one.    I'm having some edema problems with my Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion plants that I'm overwintering. the Ghost in the same room appears to be unaffected.    Symptoms: Edema on both leaf surfaces on the Reaper's new growth...

Thanks boutros, that's what I figured. The lack of leaf symptoms has me feeling good about it. I'll chalk it up to a normal variation!

Hey all,    I'm propagating some cuttings of one of my Bhut Jolokias today, and as I pruned a a lower branch to prepare (this one has a ton of node splits that grow straight sideways) I noticed these fine black dots on the dirt-facing surface of the stem.    Could this be the dreaded bacterial...

Damn, color me impressed! Diagnosed in a half hour. Thanks guys! 

Alright gang, I'm calling in the brain-trust on this one.   I've noticed these small, nodules on the underside of new(er) growth leaves on a mature Carolina Reaper I was gifted as a seedling. The nodules have been present for most of the summer, but haven't seemed to be responsible for any...

Hey Gang, Im a humble hot pepper nerd in Chicago whos excited to plant some exotic crosses in 2020!
