Weird problem I have never had before, almost all my plants are having issues rejecting pods. While they all have at least one or two fully developed pods, I keep finding newly formed tiny pods in the soil. I see no signs of bite marks or anything. As if they plant is just rejecting them...

Finally got around to transplanting to full pots (yay cold north) and ran out of regular fert after the last pot. I am tired of buying the dry stuff at the local hardware store since it never seems balanced enough. I always feel I am not getting enough peppers for the effort compared to what I...

  Nah I already looked, they do not look the same. There are a lot of light green spots and the mold is underneath. The mold is thinner and harder than mildew, almost don't notice it at first.       Cool, will look into it

Given the high heat and humidity we have had in my area for so long, some of my plants appear to have developed tomato leaf mold. Light green spots on leaves and the formation of a thin white mold with some brown patches underneath some of the infected leaves. I took first steps to move the...

So apparently every big box store around me stopped carrying Pro Mix and the mom and pop shops are way too pricey. However, I can get 3 cu ft moss bags for $10. Can I try to spin my own?   My thoughts were...   Peat Moss All Purpose 10-10-10 Lime Pellets Perlite Vermiculite Epsom Salt Mycos  ...

I'll get some pics when I'm home from work

Howdy, got a few varieties that have fruited but are taking forever to ripen or I don't know when they actually are ripe. The peppers in question... Sugar rush peach - this guy has been full if fruit for almost two months and they have not turned peachy tan Aji Pineapple - started fruiting a...

  Yah I added some perlite just because I am paranoid about drainage since I basically transplanted from mud. I also add a little mycos/light fert to the hole as well.

Thanks for the info all!

So I never invested in pro mix because 80$ for soil sounded crazy. Lo and behold I find there is a 3.8ft all purpose option for 14$ and apparently this stuff near doubles in size when you open it. Go figure... So my question is, is the all purpose version good enough? I have nutes, beneficial...

   I wish there was such a thing around here ha-ha. Could have made my life a lot easier. Only spray I have done is a garlic/tomato leaf spray to kill some little buggers and that was on all my plants. Also, I am indoors and my lights are high so wind and light burn not possible. Might just be...

  I water when when they are dry (I check the soil with my fingers). Probably 2-3 weeks?         I did not know about perlite at the time and queenqueg152 recommended Promix which is expensive to me.

  I cant afford the fancy expensive soils nor can I buy them in stores around here so I had to make do with what I had. Still, I will keep in mind mixing perlite in the future. As for burnt, no light bulbs, nothing fell, no one has really ever wilted. I cycle the lights and keep a gentle fan so...

Im afraid that might shock them again. They were potted only 2 weeks ago.

Basic organic top soil, not really sure whats in it. I added some microbe mix in the hole to help with transplant. Otherwise, there is some NPK on top.

The best of the three is one of my two Bhuts, the other Bhut is fine. The second curled one is a Fatalii pepper and the droopy one is a Piment d'Espelette.

I have 24 potted  indoor plants and for the most part everyone is coming along fine. However, these guys are struggling and I am unsure why. Two of them suffer from leaf curl and death starting at the tip of the leaves. The other is very droopy. They (and my healthy ones) all have the same soil...

I'll trade you, its been cold and wet here!

Good info, thanks guys!

Thanks. I just found it odd no one recommends a general amount despite peppers loving the stuff.
