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...

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  ...

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...

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 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...

Looking to get an oscillating fan/heater combo to keep the grow room feeling comfortable all year round, keep fungus away, make sure plants harden proper, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions?

While I am asking stupid questions...   I know peppers need them some cal and mag, but I never see how much. My fert is a 5-10-10 and has 7% calcium. I picked up some Epsom Salts which says it is about 9% mag. Are these values ok? Should I use more, less?   Also when doing mag sprays, should I...

Hi all,   I got my pepper plants in last week (I ordered them in because I forgot to start seeds... :shh: ) and finally got around to potting them. I inspected them upon arrival and did not see any aphids, slugs, gnats, nothing. Some bite marks were present but they easily could have been from...

Seeing as winter is fast upon us, I thought it would be good for all us cheapskates to show off our ghetto grow rooms! I know there was another old thread so I figured fresh start would be nice.   I'll start us off... -Pots are Ikea trashcans with holes drilled x10 -Lights are LEDs directly...

Hey all question,   I recently had to move my peppers inside because the nights were hitting 45 degrees only peaking at 70 tops by 3 in the afternoon (damn Pennsylvania). However I am starting to notice that seemingly healthy leaves are falling off fairly easily if brushed against. What would be...

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster   I currently have 2 Trinidads, 2 Bhuts, 2 Antillais Caribbean, 2 Tepins, and 2 Golden Cayennes that have gotten nice and bushy. While I have had peppers, it has been an unfortunately cold/wet summer up here so I am just starting to see ripe...
