Hi, (please move this to the Peppers growing forum, rather than growing Other..sorry, a rushed mind isn't a precise mind)
This here below is a clone/cutting from an older plant (five years at least) of unknown kind, except that it is likely a chinense.
I managed to get it to grow roots and put it in soil initially, where it was quite happy, without discoloration. Then decided to stick it in a "hempy bucket", that is to say in this case a 5L bucket with leca gravel at the bottom, a hole a couple of cms from the bottom for excess liquid to exit and then vermiculite (1/3) and perlite (2/3). Like the first grow I ever did two years ago though some soil was still attached to the base of the roots when I transplanted it to this simple hydro solution. It experienced the "transplant stasis" for four-five days then started growing again.
Over the last two weeks it has developed something that seems to be spreading - small yellow parts at the edges of some leaves, with dark dots. There are also dark streaks along the veins of some leaves, see the images below from today.
It's been given the weakest dose of Flora Grow(as per the bottle) at pH~6.5 and the standard dose of Diamond Nectar (~3 and 3ml resp. in 5l of water). I realize there might be some logical conundrums with parts of the roots still being in soil, this worked (too well) during the first grow (it didn't kill those plants and I'm using similar nutrients now..no HID and 5L bucket is the only difference). Temp has been around 20C most of the time (we had one week of summer a week or two ago) and relative humidity at around 38-42%. I see no pests on it.
What might be its issue? (Will discontinue Flora Grow and DN now that it has started developing flowers, will start with FloraMato and Micro instead, but let it dry some first)
Many thanks for stopping by.
