Hi.
I've been growing 2 bhut jolokias plants since April.
A month ago a few flowers appeared on them but dropped quickly resulting in no flowers and or even buds on both plants.
Now one of the plants (1) has flowers again and lots of good looking buds while the other plant (2) is having a really hard time growing buds (2 flowers appeared in the last few days but 1 dropped already).
My issues:
- There are no buds on plant 2. Only 1 out of 2 flowers is on the plant right now, but looks fragile and ready to drop at any time.
- For a few weeks now I'm noticing that many leaves on both plants (more significant on plant 2) look pale, with light green color.
- A few dark brown spots exist on very few leaves too
Plant 1 is giving me hope that I'm not doing anything too bad because flowers keep appearing and they look healthy but I'm really concerned about the leaves color.
I'm using an AutoPot system - can this be creating a over-watering problem? -- http://www.autopot.co.uk/1pot-extension-kit-detail
I've also cut on fertilizers quite hard. I tried a small dose of MaxiBloom on plant 2. I see a few new dark green leaves but the existent ones are pale.
Temperature, humidity, light and air circulation are fine. Photo of pale leaves below.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated![Icon Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
