• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Another one of my many questions

I will give you an example of today for me...I came home for lunch and put my "cutback" orange outside for about 20 minutes...it was 72F when I came home...then quickly forgot it and left it in the direct sunlight until I got home at 4:00 pm...that was 4 hours in the sun....I was upset...here is a photo of the plant when I got home....notice how wilted the lower leaves are...

AJ, that is how i know it is time to water my baby's. I do not water them until I see one start to wilt, I have read that stressing them makes them hotter. So I try and stress them as much as possible, I have found that the best way to stress them is sneek into the grow room after the lights have cut off for the night and just start yelling at them. LOL.

Hey, isn't sleep deprivation against the Geneva Conventions? We're gonna have to arrest you and take your plants into protective custody. I bravely and selflessly volunteer to give them all a good home here in my garden and faithfully harvest all their fruits.
 
Probably need to call Sheriff Omri and let him handle this "Domestic Distress"...or call plant protective services.

I don't see any point in stressing the plants until there are pods or you're just weakening you're plants, but I like to yell at them too.:)
 
I don't yell at mine...I just tell them in a low loving voice, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out just as quick if you don't grow"
 
I went away and left 2 Cayenne plants next to the window sill (south facing) in the summer for over a week. One of them had fallen over but both survived after loads of water, they looked really bad though when I first saw them.
 
I grew Great White tomatos last year, along with a lot of other types too. My guess would of been that the light was too strong. I would of blocked the light from it or take it out of the light.
I've had the wilt thing happen from transplanting into full sun when normally the plant only had lights or partial sun from the window sill.
The Great Whites are good tomatos, and can make a great WHITE spagetti sauce.
Check out my list of seeds to trade in the classified section.
 
This sounds like some seeds I need to get, just so I can make some white chili. Use the tomatoes, ground turkey and white habs, maybe throw in some Navy beans.

This could be fun!

Yea, the white queen is growing great now its got atleast 4 new leaves in the past 2 days, which is incredible. This new light is definitely helping, I cant wait to see them. I love growing rare type tomatoes :) Seeing something new is always fun
