water Does this look like over watering or something else?

Justosmo · May 11, 2017

None of my other plants are having this issue and all I can think is maybe I've been over watering it a bit.

I've got a sick plant with paling leaves so have been doing some reading.

Looks like maybe manganese deficiency?

Some of the veterans may know better.

Ya, hopefully I can hear some feedback. I'm moving him outdoors this weekend.

i was confused by the purple light. :shocked:

If you think, it's overwatering. You can stop watering from now on and let the pepper plant wilt like this

don't worry. the pepper plant won't die. when it's in this state, you can water thoroughly and it will come back to life with 1-2 hours.

Thanks, i know the solution to over watering. I'm just looking for input on if that is the likely cause or if it looks like something else. Like I said I have a closet full and not her else is presenting this problem.

I'll let it dry out a bit and give it awhile without fertilizer and see what happens.

Hard to tell with the light on. Is it just the new growth yellowing, or is the whole plant doing it? How often have you been fertilizing and with what?

(Honestly, it looks like it is having difficulty removing its laptop from the bag. That's likely the real problem here. Withdrawals.)

Seems to have been over watering or over fertilizing as it's bounced back now that it's in my greenhouse with a shade cloth.

Interesting after only 5 days. Out of curiosity, what is the pepper name & species?

I always over-watered my first season and the leaves turned pale white green. Yours has some other issue, if any issue at all IMHO

I'm not sure I think that one is a chocolate Bhut or reaper. I don't label well lol.

I had already began treating the plant for over watering and over fertilizing before this was posted. I was just looking for confirmation if my diagnosis. Really was more like 8110 days of corrections. The life outside is probably helping it too in my greenhouse box with shade cloth.
