Hey all, from Toronto, Canada!
I've been lurking around this forum for a while and came across many wonderful tips! It's nice to see such a friendly place sharing the same interest.
This summer, I've finally decided to grow some chilli plants since I've loved eating chilli peppers since as long as I can remember. Recently though, I've been noticing some yellowing of some of my peppers' top leaves as well as leaf wrinkling/curling. I'm wondering what might be happening or if this is just normal?
For the past 2 weeks I've been watering every time with 10/15/10 fertilizer diluted to 0.53mL per 1L of water, and watering about every other day (I add enough water each time so that water leaks out of the drain holes.) After I noticed the leaves acting weird about 4 days ago, I started watering with tap water. I also sprayed epsom salt water (1 tsp to 1 gallon) and buried some eggshells since I read that the leaves wrinkling could be due to calcium deficiency.
Here are some pics:
My Habaneros with wrinkly and curving leaves
Scotch Bonnet with wrinkly and curving leaves
After I sprayed all of my plants with epsom salt water, one of my developing pod's stalk (on a Blue Jay chilli plant) become yellow-ish and stiff. It was hanging down the day before.
My tomato's having major leaf curling issues too
Some of my other chilli & tomato plants are fine though... it's just the ones I've shown here. It has been a bit cold at night during the past week (~12C/53F).
Does anyone know what might be going on? Or if I'm just worrying excessively?
Thanks in advance =]
