I've been trying to grow some peppers, but for some reason they all get to a point where they almost stop growing. Some of them have yellowed a bit, others haven't. Mind I live in Chile so it's spring and the outside temperatures are around 25°C/77°F during the day. I've chosen 4 plants amongst 35 I'm growing:
1: Aji Lemon, sowed 7 weeks ago. I think I overwatered it, but that was 2 weeks ago and I've cut the water since, without improvement. It lost its cotyledons. Gave it a bit of Epsom Salt, didn't help.
2: Orange Habanero, sowed 5 weeks ago. One of the healthiest (basically put for comparison), but growing very slow.
3: Trinidad Scorpion ButchT, sowed 5 weeks ago... grew quite fast at first, now it has almost stopped and has been losing its strong green color.
4: Naga Morich, sowed 7 weeks ago and now it's yellow/white. Lost its cotyledons too. Also tried with a bit of Epsom Salt
These are 10oz. cups. I have them all in a north-facing window (again, I'm in the southern hemisphere), and with CFL lights during the nights... they get about 1 hour of direct sunlight through a double-glass window. I've searched the forum a lot and honestly don't know what I may be doing wrong, because they all start great and then stall. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated, as I'm almost losing my hope here.
Have a nice day!
