Hello guys,
Need some advice about plants that stopped growing, flower buds that drop (in mass) and yellow
leaves which also fall off (leaves have no symptoms of brown spots or anything, they just turn yellow).
I'd post a picture of these leaves aswell, but my loveley helpfull wife picked them up and threw them away.
A few days ago I started noticing that a lot of leaves (mainly older leaves) from my Bhut started to turn yellow,
which wasnt a concern to me at that time, but now those leaves are starting to drop (30% dropped allready).
The leaf drop starts at the bottom of the plant, but does not affect the new forming bottom branches (see pic's).
Also on the top of the plant there is no more new growth and the forming flowers on the top are falling off in mass.
The top of the plant is showing a brown discoloration (see pic's), but the bottom part still grows healthy and green.
The problem is at the moment only occuring on 1 bhut, the other bhut is still fine (also the rest of the plants are ok).
I started to try and troubleshoot this problem and this is where I am at now :
-Watering I only do when the plants start to wilt a bit.
-Feeding happens once a week with Chili focus (with fish emulsion)
-no bugs found on the plants at all.
-I checked the roots and no mold has been found
The plant's pods seem not affected and keep growing and are looking nice.
Could this be that the plant puts all its energy in the podding process and stops all other functions like growth
and flowering?
Does it have a nutrient deficiency or could it be a disease?
Any help from u guys would be very much appreciated as at the moment I really dont know what to do anymore.
PS: Today I went to the pharmacy and bought me some Magnesiumsulphate (100% pure pharmacy grade epsom salt)
and I dilluted 1tbspoon of it in 1/4 gallon of water and sprayed it on the plants . Could this help fix my problem?
And also, how many times is beneficial (using this spray) once a week, 2 times a month?
This is a picture from the top end of a branch which stopped growing and shows the brown I mentioned,
also one of the forming flowers shows a brown stem and will fall off when touched or eventually fall off from
itself later today.
This is a picture of the nice healthy and green new undergrowth (u can also see the many places where the leaves dropped off)
But at the places where leaves dropped off new branches appear.
Many thanks for reading and replying!
