    Not sure what this is. This is an over wintered orange scotch bonnet. It's just in regular potting soil I believe. A new plant this year has this slightly but the spots are much smaller and it is in pine fines/peat moss/perlite. Ive been feeding both Neptune's harvest and tomato tone on...

       OK. Sorry for waiting so long and putting these all in at once. I have limited these just to my pepper plants and not the tomatoes I started this year. The top ones are from the first week or so of May I believe. The potted ones, the top 3 of which closes to the garage door are my over...

 So I went outside this morning to find a nice hefty bite was taken out of one of my tomato plants. I was wondering since I have some left over bhut powder from last year if mixing some (few tablespoons maybe?) in a gallon of water would be a good way to keep them from nibbling more on my...

So Im in my third year of growing peppers and want to expand into other types of herbs and vegetables. I stuck mostly with containers until last year and was went through the growing pains of experimenting with what ever half decent store bought soils I could get and mixing it with soil from my...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I decided to plant some habenaro seeds when my friend game be a bunch of chilis his sister grew. These are probably a month and a half to two months old (did two batches of twelve a few weeks apart). I started them in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel. They germinated pretty well. Though I...
