Every year I plant some various seeds that I take from fruits I buy, and every year when I plant bell peppers (what we call paprika here) they get some kind of disease, the leaves turn white, crumble up and the plant goes tits up, this usually happens within 6 weeks or so. This year I made sure it wasnt going to happen, I thought..
I use mostly soil and this year I bought Coconut fibers for a special (25 litre) big pot. The nutrients I use is urine below EC 1, and granulated nutrients (small blue balls) I dont use much of the granulates, I use them mostly in the bottom of the pots. I also use a dash of PK 13-14 but thats mostly used for fruiting, when N is no longer needed. The granulates contain N12, P5, K(sulphate)14, Mg 1.2, S8, and trace amounts of B, Zn, Mo. I also use dolomite lime but not very much. As soon as I saw this problem again I gave the plant some Mg-sulphate.
Can anyone tell what the problem is? Last year I planted several hundreds of these bell peppers in the soil out in nature and they also died from this so I have a feeling its not because of my soil/coco or my choice of nutrients.
Possible causes for this problem might be lack of Mg, no chlorophyll.
Too much N.
Too much sun.
Some fungal, bacterial or viral disease that I am not aware of.
What is it? Now even the more exotic varieties start getting this, and I have never had problems with them before
