    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Good news! 2 of the plants I repotted have exploded and are on the second set of true leaves now. A third is recovering as well - rest are, well, dead.

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Yep. I'll be in San Diego next weekend, seems lots of guys down there grow supers so I'm going to stock up. Next year, I'll buy 2x more seeds than I think I need and get them started in January instead of March. But at least now ai have the equipment and experience to (hopefully) do better in 2014.

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Not bad - I think I probably made too many rookie mistakes - underwatering, overwatering, nutes too soon - etc. Nothing I can do now, I hope the 2-3 that are left pull through but they don't look too good.

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Well, almost all of them have died. I think I fried 'em with nutes. Better luck next year?

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Ok, regular potting soil is fine? I have "Sta-Green All Purpose Potting Soil with fertilizer" that's left over from the flowers.

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Seedlings seem to have improved with less water - flushed a couple of them that looked really yellow. A few died, the rest seem okay now - cotyledons fell off most of them but the true leaves are still there. They still aren't growing though - they all seem to have stalled and stayed the same...

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    If it was too much fert will they recover? Don't think I am overwatering. It is dry and cold (40s) here. Also, nobody is commenting on growth rate. Not a problem that they're over a month old and barely growing leaves?

    Peppers growing slow, starting to yellow and die?

    Novice seed grower, so sorry for the amount of questions lately! Anyway, I have been growing some moruga scorpions. Sowed them first week of march, the sprouted around the 15th of March. Fast forward a month, and they seem to be growing EXTREMELY slowly - I know superhots are slow growing, but...

    Green or Ripe?

    I use almost exclusively ripe peppers, the only exceptions are jalapenos, which I usually use green, exceptions being for desserts, and habeneros, of which I use green ones for certain salsas and marinades.

    Superhots growth rate?

    That's what I thought - good to know I'm not too far off. I'll try bumping up the temps and see what happens.

    Superhots growth rate?

    I've only grown tomatoes and Thai chilies before, so maybe superhots grow slower than most peppers etcetera, but I'm on week 3 post-sprouting and am just now getting true leaves developing. Is this normal growth rate or do I need to raise the temp? They are in a climate-controlled area (averages...

    seeds scorpion seedlings curling/dying?

    Thanks Prehensile - they were drying out! Watered them, put the humidity dome back on, and they're doing great now. Question though - these sprouted a little over 3 weeks ago, and they are just now starting to produce true leaves. Are these slow growing varieties or should I up the heat? They...

    seeds scorpion seedlings curling/dying?

    Ok. It's dry here - 5% humidity max - and soil feels pretty dry. I'll back off on watering. What do you suggest? 2x a week? Also, 2 of the 20 that sprouted died - they are shriveled up. You can see one in pic #2 to the left of the right side seedling.

    seeds scorpion seedlings curling/dying?

    Is this the dreaded damping off or something else? First time growing super-hots from seeds - these were planted ~15 days ago, sprouted a week ago, and I noticed yesterday one of them looked dead. Now today there are a few more that are starting to have the leaves curl up/look like they are...

    Moruga scorpion seeds?

    Hi everyone, new here, need some help. Recently moved and lost all my plants... I was spoiled living across from an arboretum that held a yearly pepper sale and so lost my bhuts, choc habs, etc. Anyway, just got settled in and wanted to try growing some morugas but everyone seems to be sold...
