Man my plants are suffering bigtime. both bhut jolokias and the chocolate hab are losing leaves and dropping buds like crazy. i can't get them to flower. They having a major issue with spider mites it seems. I think i may have overcrowded them. I just don't know what else to do with them. They are bright green so i thought they were going to be okay, but i just don't know anymore. As a last ditch effort i have bought a new 3-5 gallon (not sure what size, but it's big) container. I cut out the chocolate hab since it's the worst of them all and with some effort moved it into the new container. I fertilized early this morning and moved the plant later in the day. I'm hoping the added stress combined with a good feeding and watering, both of which were needed, that these guys will bounce back. The two bhut jolokias now have about 12in between them each so i think they'll be much happier. The BJ don't look nearly as bad as the choc-hab, so i'm just praying it all works out.
The other habanero is doing sort of okay i suppose. It has 4 fruits growing and seemingly growing well. It lost a bunch of leaves this weekend, but i don't know if it was because we got slammed with a couple days of 90+ heat after a relatively mild spell. Even as it is dropping some leaves, and no new buds, it has begun sprouting leaves all up the base of the stem. No clue as to why. Not even sure if that's a good thing.
The black pearl is doing fine. It seems to like the climate here and has grown out and has a ton of buds on it and a few fruits that seem to be growing. I hhave high hopes for this one.
Seriously...any advice would be appreciated here guys. I'm so confused here.
