For your review. I give you 4 different issues.

Involving 4 separate plants. Dazed and confused you've stumbled into the "What the &#$* zone". I'm going to be weeding three out anyway so all is well. The first plants condition is due simply to my being dolt. Time will heal this one. She just has to grow out of it.


The second plant I just don't know. I "may" have let her dry out a bit too much when she was on the paper towel. This one is getting the axe.


The third one might be just be varietal but I'll leave that to someone who knows. It's a Critical Jack Auto but it looks to me to be a bit on the chartreuse side. Just not quite as green as I like. I could be flashing but WTH.

The last one might again be varietal. It's a Bubbledawg aka Chicle and it looks a bit too green. The soil for all the plants except one are about 50/50 F.F and Promix with blood and bone meal and a couple of shots worm castings. One plant is straight up F.F. Is that stuff known to be hotter than a pistol?

It's all good though. I have 13 different varieties and I only want 9 plants to go under my 18-3590 LED'S so let them show their weaknesses now. Three weeks ago today the beans took their first drink so my hopes are high.

Personally, i don't think you've got runts..

Do you use water only? Have you added dolomite lime to your mix? What's your soil mix like? How often do you water?

only thing wrong is your magnesium def

add Epsom salt to the water at 1/4 tsp per gallon from now on

spray them with 1/4tsp per gallon of Epsom salt and itll fix the others in a couple days

A weak seaweed tea made with water from the Koi pond and mostly Irish Moss and knotted rockweed.(rinsed). I water when dry. Snot good to water on top of water. It allegedly makes O2 intake more difficult but IDK. I haven't even checked the PH yet but I will. Dolomite takes to much time to work. If I have to sweeten things up i go straight to Liquid Lime. I think I'll go try and find my ph kit. Yeah I know I'm out of touch but they wanted more money for a ph tester than I wanted to spend.

Otay.. I will mix up a bottle of Epsom salts right now. That's easy enough. Every pot does have a rusty nail in it but I doubt that's making any difference at all, it's just habit.
Any guesses what loser error occurred with number one?

just get the $5 kit with the drops

I use it for hydro with no problems

the little one might want less water

the Epsom salt spray I suggested is mild so you might even spray them 2x over 3 days

ad a tiny drop of soap (tiny)

I should have thought about the epsom salts satori because I use a shit ton of it on the vegetable garden. It's hard to go wrong with the stuff. Year after year I just wasn't being as successful as I should have been with peppers. The Bells, jalapeño,Hungarian etcetera just were not cutting it. A wise old gardener recommended powdered sulphur which I alreadt used to scab up my seed potatoes. He said just put a few tablespoons in the hole when you drop the plants. A little research later I discovered that Epsom salts were actually magnesium sulfate OR pretty much sulphur at a fraction of the cost. It turns out your Epsom salts is an all around good garden tonic that does everything from sweeten your maters to making your NPK and micronutes more easily used by the plant. Well I am now the pepper king with lots of big ass thick walled peppers so why wouldn't I give the girls a taste. Well they are sprayed and I did add a drop of Safer's to help it adhere so I'll definitely let you know if it helps. The little plant DOES look like it has an overwatering problem But everything drinks the same amount so I don't think so....
