A little help

[Durham Bull]

These Naga(?) pods started out OK but recently the end tips starting to dried out & rot.
It's has been very hot here in NC, 100+ for the last few days.
Any idea?

the only thing i can think of is Bloom end rot. either too much water, but also it could be laking some calcium.

Blossom end rot is from lack of calcium. Try giving your plant some cal/mag.

Thank you for the info... Cal/Mag it is!

By the way, those sure don't look like nagas. More like a Chile de arbol or similar c. Annum.

You're welcome! A little bone meal from time to time helps the plants with fruiting too!

I know, it was SASE to me as Naga Dorset and at this point, it doesn't look like Naga at all.
... I will grow it out and get it ID here.

Thanks again Mega, I will try to find some bone meal too. There's a lot more to growing chiles than just water & sunshine.
But it's addicting.

Wrong Ph stops nutrient/calcium uptake......BER

As does letting the soil get excessively dry between waterings.
