Hi guys
I started growing three types of peppers this year, for the first time: 3 habaneros, 1 jalapeno and 2 buena mulatas.
They were all planted at similar time, beginning of march. While they were young I fertilized them with 12-36-12 with every watering (final nitrogen content was 50mg/L)
Later I used 20-20-20 also with final nitrogen content @50mg/L. After my problem appeared I also tried 13-5-28+2Ca+2.5MgO+TE (nitrogen 50mg/L)
All these 6 plants stand next to each other and are being treated literally the same. Only difference is that buena mulata flowered more and had more fruit at the time I replanted them to their final pots.
These final pots are pictured, 3.5L (~0.92 US gallons) volume each. I water all of them from the bottom. As can be seen on the pictures (first two) both habanero and jalapeno are doing awesome. Buena mulata (3rd and 4th picture) is suffering from something but I can only guess what.
What in your opinion can I do to help them? I don't care for present fruit if its removal means that plants can be saved. Should I cut all fruit off and clip branches a bit? What should I do? At one point buena mulata might have been overwatered but since then (some 2 weeks) I really dried them up. They still look sad and weak. They both had increasingly yellowing leaves with falling off and overall look kinda sad (except their fruit which IMO looks great, I don't expect anything better). I don't know what to do.
Thanks for any help and advice!
